It may not "look elegant" in your eyes, but who cares? There's too many shooters out there more concerned about their "Leica looking elegant" than just accepting it's nothing more than a tool to take pictures. The film box tear off is practical, slip in hot shoe simple and doesn't cost a penny! So what's the problem? Another thought is, don't stop shooting until you've used the last frame and always leave your camera empty so you must load it the next time you go out to shoot. Then you never have this concern. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
