OTOH, with colour, things get a bit more complicated. Shooting transparencies (also known as "chromes"), the choic is quite straight forward: go with the chrome. For colour negative film, it's a toss up between whether you consider the colour or the negative more important. For colour, go with chrome. For negative, go with black. If undecided, talk to Leica about getting a Panda version of the 21. Of course, this fails to take into consideration shirt colour. This becomes vital if mainly using dark shirts, in which case, black is the only way to go. Otherwise, go with chrome, unless your shirts are predominantly blue, then chrome. T-shirts require black, regardless of colour, whereas formal dress-shirts, especially those cut to measure, must have chrome. M. - -- Martin V.
