RE: OT: A Leica for Cesar
Frank, I cannot say that the red is the right choice for that camera, especially as it clashes with the red Leica dot. Though, I am sure that the feel of the camera is enhanced. I must admit that I have only handled a Leica once. If anyone wants to lend me one for a while :-) Different strokes for different folks - I have been wondering idly about reskinning some of my other cameras though... If only I can get some free time - even my original Bianchi has been sitting neglected :-( Cesar Panama City, Florida P.S. My email is so fragmented right now, my replies - if they come - will not be chronological...
