     Hi Donal,
     
      What do you do with the sticky glue oozing out in hot days?
     
     Regards,
     David

Do what we did in the 60s and 70s, buy whatever you can afford and spend 
a couple hours putting black electrical tape all over the camera.  It 
protects the body from scratches, makes the camera look less valuable, 
and you can feel part of a tradition of devil-may-care photojournalism.
