The most unusual Leica sighting was a big, bearded guy I saw once in 
Sweden. He was wearing only a pair of brown pants and sandals, and he had 
a 2-lug black M5 hanging sideways on a skinny, leather thong (it wasn't 
even a strap). I personally would not wear a Leica on my bare chest on a 
hot day; sweat is pretty acidic.
