Let's hear about your latest lens caps. Are they Titanium? > :) Well, I don't know if I'll call it "political". Let's change the term, let's call some sort of objection. This is a doublesided part of photography, and Leica is deeply linked to it. I could probably avoid comments on Bush II and others, but then we must also avoid all those small "innocent" (and very reactionary) comments that often are pouring through this forum. Lens caps? I don't know if I ever had any, or I must have lost them long time ago. No, I just have two old, but excellent M-Leicas with 35 and 50 mm lenses, a Contax T2, an Olympus Mju-2, a Nikon FM with a 105mm, a light meter somewhere, lots of undeveloped films in a freezer, lots of negs (even if I lost all my pre-1985 work, and parts of later work as well). I have no bags, no zing or zang, no winders or soft release buttons (I should probably try one of those). I like it simple and basic - less distortion that way. I haven't put up a web page yet, but at least I have a computer now that makes it possible to see digitized images [and I have discovered another LUG (Linux Users Group)]. I must try to find a reasonable scanner and find some time as well. I'm bloody busy... now, back to the lawn mower!
