Just how is "weather sealing" defined ........... not necessarily from a
purely technical point of view but from a real world point of view.
I recall from several years ago that Leica used to advertise the standard M6
and 50/2 as being the new right-out-of-the-box camera of choice to go on Mt
Everest expeditions. Also, I have a book somewhere in which Sir Chris
Bonnington is shown to have used an OM1 or OM2 on his high elevation
mountaineering expeditions.
