Sparks may not fly with a Nikon & Leica both around your neck, but you neck
will be hanging a lot lower!

The idea of having them alongside your Leica's hanging on you went against

But they are compatible systems and unusual sparks don't fly when they hit
each
other when you wear both of them around your neck.
