Yes, in the meantime paint it black, or put a black scotch over it...

The M6J is a nice camera, but too rare, and far too expensive, of 
course... If you prefer the classic design, there are still all the M3/2/4 
around, less expensive, and as good as the M6. Why pay for a meter which is 
finally superfluous? Why bother with the M6? I've had four, but I've sold 
them all! I couldn't stand walking around with a fortune like that. I was 
worrying all the time, being robbed, loosing them, or damaging them. With 
the old ones you are more relaxed, especially if they have signs of wear 
and tear. I like it simple and basic. I don't like being noticed.

Merci, Lucien! 
Eh bien, j'aimerais passer un peu plus inapercu, mais c'est rate. Tant pis! 
Et ce record est plutot un desastre! 

Je n'ai rien contre les fleuristes, je trouve seulement que les reflexions 
de M. Hurst etait malvenues. Il y a des moments ou il faut frapper...
