I use chrome and chrome, black body and chrome lens, chrome body and
black lens, black body and black lens. You know what? I don't care. They
all work great. If I have any thoughts at all I notice that the black
body with my black 35 Summicron disappears nicely against the black
clothes I wear when doing street work. I also use black MR4 meters on
chrome bodies. Still looks alright. Damnit man, you're using Leicas,
count your blessings.
