I suppose it depends on whether you are a slovenly bourgeois who would stoop to paisley or whether you're a gentleman of Swedish class and wear white. The Tartan has rather negative overtones as under clothing, certainly for someone using a camera with the status level of a Leica. Better the whole kilt and a corner of it to cleanse your lens, than a some what lower class under clothing of tartan! ;-) And the chrome bit on the black bit with one of those ghastly ultra whatever they are glass bits, bloody poor taste old chap! The Leica police unit will be along shortly to remove your tartan or paisley under shorts, give you a sound thrashing with a Leica neck strap and confiscate one or the other of the chrome lens or black body as ner the two should meet! ;-) They will however also confiscate your horrid under shorts to be replaced with a white pair with the ever brilliant Leica Red Dot right where the "red dot is" ;-) However, it will be your choice which you keep. Sorry old man if you feel unfulfilled for an answer. But today i've had a bad one! ;-) ted Grant
