Though I am also, I thought that there would >be some input to my question the other day re: the "Action Leader" model. I must have missed it. What's an action leader model? As for Chrome, I prefer the chrome finish because it keeps its look longer than the black finish, and I think they look good. In addition, they look less "professional" than all black, which seems to me to be an advantage when trying to be inobtrusive. Looks like a point and shoot to most people. David Allen Harvey had one advantage using Leica Ms in Peru, when the shining path guerrillas were still doing their thing, because they didn't like journalists. Having a touristy looking camera probably saved him a lot of grief. ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
