What would it take to make an M this weatherproof?
So there is definitely some pretty hardcore weatherproofing knowhow at leica...
Leica Camera AG - Observation - New: Ultravid HD Range I'd really love a camera where the weatherproofing was good enough to warrant adding that Aquadura coating to the finder and IR filter... |

The binoculars are not just weatherproof they are waterproof, mine have been under water several times. I guess weatherproofing a camera is more demanding, I suppose. It would be nice though.

They could just make a couple of lenses in the weatherproof range initially, I think many of us would be interested in a 28 cron weatherproof. Again, assuming they also made a weatherproof body. |

Before I bought them I used to wonder why anyone would spend so much cash on a lens that doesn't even take pictures.. then I took them sea kayaking in NZ and walking in Austria.. now I know  |

Re: What would it take to make an M this weatherproof?
...we tend to forget - amongst the 'doom and gloom' of whether the m8 is good enough for professional photojournalists in a combat environment - that leica sports optics are considered the absolute top brand amongst sports hunters, birders, etc., operating in the harshest of sports environments...
