I almost never take my nice small camera bag with me, so the M6 ( or the M3, or sorry, the N___n FM2) stays around my neck or in my small backpack with books and a sweater and other stuff. I don't like lens caps so I only use the lens hood. I try to be careful, it's expensive stuff, but I know I'm bound to ruin my cameras much more than a guy who uses cases and bags all the time unless he pulls out the camera to take a shot and then he puts the gear back But since I know the way I shoot, I've never bought a new camera once. Always well-used stuff, sometimes beat-up -- cheaper and I don't bawl my eyes out if I bump the camera somewhere (an aside: I was concerned about scratches on lenses and dust and stuff -- then one day a friend of mine, a pro, gave me his 24mm -- Nikkor, OK, sorry again -- lots of scratches, cleaning marks, appalling conditions but no separation luckily). Well, picture quality is almost flawless -- BW only -- really no difference between that lens and a new one, I'm talking about Tri-X and Plus-X in Xtol or Acufine, printed 11x14) believe me matteo matteo persivale milan, italy - ----------------------------------------------- Japan Search: http://japan.co.jp Free E-mail: http://jmail.co.jp - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
