Not yet any ways. ;-) the more I think about this crazy issue, aside from submersion-a la Tina, the more I feel that rain is less of a threat than high humidity coupled with changing temperatures... air will enter the camera body more easily than water, and if that air is full of moisture, coupled with an abrupt temperature change...one can readily imagine what the inside of the camera will look like... I guess the worst change might involve going from a warm & humid place to a cold & dry place...but it's late, I'm tired, if I've got it wrong someone please correct me, Steve > > > Gene -------------- Original message from Tina Manley <images at > comporium.net > >: -------------- > > >> At 11:07 AM 9/17/2009, you wrote: >>> I think I will be more cautious in the future with my M9.
