Re: [Leica] lighten up

Just get a photo vest like a Domke, put one or both M6s around your neck,
the rest of the stuff in the vest pockets (mini tripod in the back pocket)
and enjoy.  Or, get two lens-carrier Ms, carry the two cameras around your
neck with the lenses attached to them and the other goodies in your pockets.
