============================================================
Long ago, in a place far away, I purchased my black
enamel M4 and two black enamel Nikon FTns. Not because of
status, or "magic picture....". I bought them because they
were LESS CONSPICUOUS. Almost all other cameras of the
time were chrome. And they would stand out like a flag,
causing some people to act in a hostile manner about
photography, and others to start thinking about how to
steal them.
And almost as soon as I had the Nikons "home", I covered
that big, white Nikon F on the finder/meter with a strip of
black electricians tape. I had already learned that most
thieves did not know one camera from another, but they knew
the NAME.
If you think this is a hint for all of you who really
use your cameras, it is......
