The only heat problems I had while in SE Asia with my OM-1n's was in Cambodia
(which is ridiculously hot in May). The problem I had was my sweat would
collect on the viewfinder eyepiece and then dust would stick to it making it
look like the viewfinder had fogged. A quick wipe would clean it up but the
problem would come back pretty quickly.

Granted this was dealing with situations where it was 40+C every day and I was
riding around on the back of a motorcycle so dust was frequently a problem. The
worst day involved an hour and a half bike ride each direction and the road
changed to dirt about halfway there. I think my shirt and photo backpack still
have dirt embedded in them from that ride.
