Re: [OM] Misguided analysis?

[Chuck Norcutt]

There's no question I would love to have a perfectly weather sealed 
camera but I'm not willing to give up my full frame sensor to get it and 
I can't afford the alternative.  The 5D has survived a few light 
sprinkles.  I may eventually buy a rain cover.

On the swamp walk tomorrow I'm taking an OM-1 and 28mm.  There's a 
possibility of light rain but the principal risk is not rain but total 
immersion.  Probably only a Nikonos or some selected Oly P&S cameras 
would survive that.  I''m taking what I can afford to lose should I fall 
into the drink.
