Nicoleica Posted October 20, 2009 Share #21 Posted October 20, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) EMP stands for an Electromagnetic Pulse. In the context of this thread, the one produced by an atomic explosion. Ducking would be a very good idea! (Provided you have a shielded bunker to duck into of course.)

michali Posted October 20, 2009 Share #22 Posted October 20, 2009 I had exactly the same thought the other day; for my birthday I was given a beautiful soft leather sling bag for my camera with 2 magnetic clasps in front and I was wondering about the effect of the magnets on the camera. Question was answered as follows: My wife's birthday is a week after mine, I bought her a D-Lux4 Safari which comes with a small sling case with a rather large horizontal magnetic clip on the front. I suppose that Leica/Panasonic would have already thought about that before putting this kit together. Would they?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJP Posted October 20, 2009 Share #23 Posted October 20, 2009 Magnets & magnetic fields influence ferromagnetic materials (iron, nickel and a few others) but do not influence anything else - or at least not that you would notice. The electronic and lens side of things should be just fine. Also with an EMP a Leica stands a better chance than most electronic stuff to survive as it is cased in metal, so you can still take pics, but your PC or Mac will be fried:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 20, 2009 Share #24 Posted October 20, 2009 After an EMP, likely all of the pictures you would take with your M8 would suffer from magenta skin tone problems again. What a drag, I finally have a LR profile I like, but after an EMP I'd have to start all over again. Probably, would have to piggyback a radiation filter over the IR filter as well.

Rick Posted October 21, 2009 Share #26 Posted October 21, 2009 sfokevin, although I find the woman in the rubber suit strangely attractive, on the other hand I'm not sure I'd let her close to me with that geiger counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that probe might not put everyone in the mood to "duck & cover"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brill64 Posted October 21, 2009 Share #28 Posted October 21, 2009 the magnets in your delsey bag are way, way too weak to even remotely affect your camera operation or sd cards. you would need a very powerful electro-magnet in direct physical contact to cause any disruption. nice bag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
