IE: Black over chrome. I don't know where the idea that the silver wears better than black as I'm sure many of the black M user types will testify to how good their machines look after some hard time use. And as far as street stuff or any other kind of photgraphy, I'd go black, always have and always will. They don't look as inviting as that nice shiny thing hanging around your neck. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
