Some people have been suggesting that I shouldn't even be concerned about this color combination issue. That it's the quality of the pictures that matter. I appreciate the quality of the lenses and I really don't mind using an ugly camera. I bought a new M6HM for my Noctilux. The first thing I did when I got it was "uglified" the thing. Put electric tape and velcro in strategic spots where I wanted to improve the grip. I think my beat-up M4-P was better looking than my new M6HM. The more beat-up a camera is, the better it looks, IMHO. It's ugly, but it looks good, if you see what I'm saying. Now a chrome lens on a black body is ugly, and it doesn't look good. <g> But again guys, I'd use it ok? And it doesn't *matter*, really. But I wanted to know, just for the heck of it, what people thought. And yes, I have arrived at my own opinions. I'm asking the group anyway, just like you'd ask someone what he thought of a movie you both saw. Ben Martin V.
