Re: [Leica] chrome body, black lens

I agree with Carl.  I don't really care either.  I have a black M6HM with a
chrome 35 1.4 asph and a 90mm 2.8 chrome. I would love to have a chrome HM but
they don't make it.

 I use chrome and chrome, black body and chrome lens, chrome body and
 black lens, black body and black lens. You know what? I don't care. They
 all work great. If I have any thoughts at all I notice that the black
 body with my black 35 Summicron disappears nicely against the black
 clothes I wear when doing street work. I also use black MR4 meters on
 chrome bodies. Still looks alright. Damnit man, you're using Leicas,
 count your blessings.
