Hi Jason,

     I usually carry a Leica screw mount in my pants front pocket with the 
Elmar 50/3.5 lens  You need to experiment with what type of pants works best.  
Heavy denim works well; look for a fit that makes life easy;  different 
styles have different shaped and sized front pockets;  something that hugs
the thigh works best.  If you need to wear suit-style pants, forget it.

     I used to carry an Olympus Epic Stylus.  I got rid of it for several
reasons: (it's a good camera, however) 1) no 50mm lens, 2) the time lag, 
3) battery dependent, 4) the noise of the winder and 5) pressing a small 
button to disable the flash each time its opened.
