It just takes too long to get it out of the painer if you want to use it. I do not dare put it in the tank bag because it is fixed to the tank by a few very powerful magnets and I am afraid this may harm the Leica. Anyway the tank bag almost blew off when I did 100 miles an hour down the autobahn. But I have to admit, at that moment I thought less about Leicas than about myself. MY QUESTION: Are the strong magnets a potential hazard for the M? It seems several Leica bikers have a Ricoh GR-1 in their shirt or jacket pocket for quick shots. You can add me to that list. - -- christer almqvist eichenstrasse 57, d-20255 hamburg, fon +49-40-407111 fax +49-40-4908440 14 rue de la hauteur, f-50590 regnéville-sur-mer, fon+fax +33-233 45 35 58
