Well, he's a street photographer. Even the Noct' is painted over and marked
for quick response, never mind the timing belt over the focus ring and the
gear over the f-stop ring. he felt that the chrome was just too obtrusive,
and he can't be bothered by black paint either.
From my talk with him, I came to the conclusion that he was a Leica using
street photographer monastic. He told me he's given up all sense pleasure
for the pursuit of a daily image with his pair of 'mice'.
For myself, I'm curious to see some of his images.
