I generally hold it in my right hand, ready to be fired and rewound at a
moment's notice, more or less prefocused according to my situation. It's
uncapped, but pointed downwards, partly to protect the optics from the
elements, but this also serves to present passers-by with only the blank M6
top. Hardly anyone seems to care about the camera, and the few exceptions
seem themselves to be Leicaphiles. It does not seem to matter that mine is
chrome, with a red dot on the front.
