OK. You got a point here. Although this is unquestionable, those old cameras can take very nasty treatment and still work through the whole campaign. That's why some people like to say that they are build like a tank!
See? What did I tell you?
Cheers

Ok excanon. Accept my apologies and some further illustration of my words:
Robert Capa, Omaha Beach (doesn't look much concerned with weather conditions? What you say?)

Hey excannon, where did I said do not take care of your gear? Do you read the posts, or are you saying what comes to your mind regardless of that? Your Super Duper Auto Program is a dead weight? Ok then, grab yourself a K1000 and forget about batteries. Any experienced photographer, like they used to be in the past, knows how to expose without batteries and other fancy assets like those we need nowadays. Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean by increment weather but if my old ME his rusty inside I wouldl spray some W40 on the joints and off you go... let's shoot baby. By the way, I donīt need all that gimmicks, like P-TTL or auto exposure with a film camera. Just a lens, the shutter and the film advance lever working.

Are you saying that a 35mm camera from the 70's is as much sensitive to water as a modern dslr? I think you are wrong (and I didn't say anywhere purely mechanic, your words, not mine).

In the past, photographers were not much concerned with weather conditions because cameras and lens were mainly mechanical devices. Digital photography, on the contrary, rely heavily in electronics which don't mix well with harsh weather conditions. Just protect your gear from unnecessary exposition to the elements and you should be fine.
