I don't sling my M over my shoulder like some cheap N****. Instead, Leicas deserve the respect and dignity offered by hand carrying. <big smile> I like keeping my caps around if for no other reason than mid-roll changes. I want a cap so I can insert a half-used roll, and advance back to the point of last exposure. The surest way I've found to lose a cap is to keep it on your lens. I haven't lost one yet, but on a couple occasions when I was walking around with it on, it fell off. I was able to retrace my steps and find it, but from then on...lens caps stay in the bag except for loading film. I either keep my M in a fanny pack, where I don't have to worry about it, or I loop the strap around my wrist a few times, and carry it in one hand, where it's always ready to fire away. The advantage of this is that I can take pictures on the sly by presetting hyperfocal and exposure. The disadvantage of this is that I'm not good at taking pictures this way. Oh, well. :) So how's the B&W darkroom work going? Photographers shouldn't be out in the sun, anyway. Stay inside and bask in the phosphorus glow of your monitor or splash carcinogenic chemicals over your skin. :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
