Buying Leicas is not cheap. I know one caver who has (had?) one and it was a beautiful piece of kit to use, digital M9, but I'm not sure I'd ever trust anything of that cost underground.

Get one of these & take it caving!!!! (quote from wikipedia)

Leica M9 Titanium

In 2010 Leica released the Leica M9 Titanium camera body (a variant of the M9) which was designed by Walter de'Silva. The body and supplied lens (a Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH) are both built from solid titanium. The M9 Titanium is available in a limited run of 500 cameras and costs almost ?20,000.

Bargain. Now where's that miserable mud mire that needs a few photographs taking to record the efforts of the diggers...  :blink:

Try Panasonic versions of Leica (can find often same camera different name different software but same glass/build)
This blog post I just wrote might help? I specialize in cave photog with little gear and small cameras. Sure you can go mega...I go small and inexpensive.
