Gee I don't seem to have this paint problem, maybe because I stick them in
my jacket or pants pocket or wearing a photo vest I plunck them into one of
the smaller pockets. Then they're handy for quick change if need be.

Maybe I should go look at what you lads are talking about.  But paint
peeling is a, "never mind what me worry?" issue, as my main concern is ..."
