I thought that "a bit" of rain is no problem for the X100. Then, after a rather wet New Year's Eve night - this was more then "a bit" of rain - shutter button and on/off switch unity stopped working reliable
Similar thing with my X100s. We were hiking through the pouring rain on the Île d'Ouessant last year and the camera became damp inside the bag (I had neglected to put the bag inside its raincover and the fabric was soaked). When I took it out, it wouldn't respond. Fortunately, it came back from the dead the following day and has worked flawlessly since. Still, I'm waiting for the 35/2 WR to use on days like this, so that I can take the XT1, even when the 16-55 might feel too heavy for a long hike.
X-T1/X-T10 and the Weather Sealing... just a Gimmick or a Must Have Feature?
