Sorry to hear, Stig. I should perhaps add that a Canon D-7 succumbed to moisture at the particular landing where I took my photo. Fortunately it came back to life after roughly two days of drying out, but in principle it's a camera with about the same level of weather protection as has the K-7. So maybe I was lucky? At least I was deliberately pushing my luck...
