the essence of the "street" rangefinder camera is discretion.

black is almost as prominent as white. so what colour would be most  
suitable; to "fade" into the hand?

black, brown or white skin. what would fit?

and not just for the body, but the lenses too ........

light brown leather, flecked with black and the metalwork in a very  
matt bronze?

ideas?
