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 attached 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 caps should not be stored in your pants
pocket as they attract dust that can get into the camera when
they are attached.
