He explained that since the M9 isn’t suited for humid and tropical environments (he said he had been shooting in Hong Kong for the past month) it was necessary to tape up the body like this to keep the moisture out.  That, and the more it looks like a beat up old vintage camera (and not a state of the art $10,000 digital Leica rig), the better for shooting out on the streets.
