Whether there was damage is more dependant on how wet the camera got than how many shots you took. If I use any camera on a rainy day I make sure it stays dry, even those with "weather sealing".

Shortly there after, the camera simply died. I sent it to Solms and they tell me it is trashed. They offer to sell me a new M8.2 at just under the BHphoto price. Has this happened to anyone else? Can you not use the M8 on a rainy day? _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
