But if the world gave Oscars for sheer utter stupidity it would definitely be Leica, it's owner and marketing staff for this moronic offering. But the very sad part of it is.. "We are wasting OUR most valuable time tapping keys throwing away our precious lifetime hours regarding this asinine concept. I'd rather see the days with everybody shooting Friday Flowers than this utter drivel about Leica and it's dead brained collection of mental midget fools! One would think by now, we'd have learned any announcements regarding Leica would immediately be deleted because we already know it's going to be another dumb ass concept! But then we Leica lovers are known for our faithfulness in being beaten with a .. "Your choice!" An early morning thought as the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.. probably a good thing! :-) Dr. ted. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Philippe AMARD Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 6:24 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica in white leica wrote: > 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? > hairy for me - chestnut brown hairs, if available Phx > bruce. > > > On 8-apr-2009, at 15:05, W.
