Clothing your M in anything that slows loading may save it from scratches, but it also degrades its usability. B. D. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Craig Schroeder Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 2:09 PM To: LUG Subject: [Leica] Design the ideal ER case I live in a rural setting and have an acquaintance who does custom saddlery building. He started out doing hunting knife form-fitted sheaths (friction fit) and then custom holster work for law enforcement applications. His work is top quality and he is an obsessive craftsman. I believe he's at the point of needing to expand operations and may be able to add some staple, production items to his offerings to rationalize employees, etc. If you could start from scratch, what attributes would you wish for in an eveready case for an M series? What liner materials? Any known leather treatment chemistry to avoid for long term exposure to any of the Leica surface finishes? Hardware location points for function or ideal balance? Any specific Leica quirks or additions (ie, a covered clip to hold the back during film changing while standing, etc). Let your creativity flow please..... - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
