Ah George, welcome to the LUG, where opinion is often mistaken for fact and saying something is so supposedly makes it so. The whole black vs silver arguement (that I am criminally prolonging) is a moot point, for every Lugger that chose one finish over the other made a conscious decision favoring one purely aesthetic option to another, an option that - as many have pointed out - in no way influences the performance of the camera or the quality (or lack thereof) of the images it produces, and have thus been engaged in the "spurious" activity they loudly dismiss! You bunch of dumb galoots! You pack of closet esthetes! Come on! Give up the goods!!! You're all dying for snake-skin titanium M6s with matching Noctiluxes!!! I know it!!! Guy ;)
