Notes:
• Generally: To protect the Leica M against ingress of dust etc. into
the interior of the camera, it is important always to have a lens or a
cover fi tted to the camera body.
• For the same reason, when changing lenses work quickly and in an
environment that is as dust-free as possible.
• Camera or lens rear covers should not be stored in your trouser
pocket as they attract dust that can get into the camera when they
are fi tted.
