how it kept working if is not weather sealed?

[airkid]

come on guys, its obvious there are a brunch of idiots being jealous of the leica users. Just ignore them, every person has their own value.

[germandude1982]

can't do the water trick with the M9 :D

[MrFernuti]

oh man, this video is so full of it, pure marketing.

@marcomarcucci because it isn't weather sealed, that doesnt mean it's made of sugar.

it was just the ending of his "story tale..." no go for a M9.... cheers ! ! !

[MrJtl73]

Interesting that there's no mention of how he reviewed the M8 while in Iraq and basically called it a total POS.

Guess the M9 is superior and/or he was paid well for this video.

@marcomarcucci I think we'd all be surprised about how well non weather sealed cameras can stand up to the wet. Look at digitalrev's "durability test" (they pour hot water on two non weather sealed dslrs and they were fine). I'm not saying weather sealing is total bs, but it's not as important as people and all the marketing hype make it out to be. And there are plenty of stories about M8s and M9s being used in the rain, google is your friend

it really looks wonderful !! fuck nikons and canons !!

i would love one of these , stevehuffphoto and iloverangefinders have competitions to win one , not that ill ever win one or buy one , $7000 dollars is nuts though , if i dont eat or pay rent for a year i could buy one with no lenses

but there is something about the look of a rangefinder image , it looks different to an slr pic ? and lets face it , even the people who come on here to leave shitty comments , secretly want one
