Dr. Black Tape is an option, however, he gets a bit sticky and messy after
awhile. Actually I like the chrome finish, the next M body I get will be
black instead.

No wonder I can't take a picture of Kat and my wife without them trying
to hide. My M6TTL is Chrome! On the other hand Kat has went back to
Germany and no longer has to endure my taking her photo. ;-) Boy the
house is quiet now without a teenager around. ;-) So who will paint my
M6TTL and Teds Digilux 2 black for us?

Digilux 2 vs. invisible M7.
As much as I find the Digilux 2 interesting for quick response of
viewing when necessary, I find it as obvious to bystanders as though
waving a red flag at a bull. It seems the big lens hood and flashy
chrome body catch the eye quicker than lightening, giving away the
"invisible photographer."
Unlike a black body M with it's blink a few feet away and a subject
unaware an exposure was made, the digi 2 is a tough camera to be
unobtrusive, that is unless you're plinking hit or miss from the hip.
But put it to your eye and the world knows you're about to take a
picture defeating the whole purpose of photographing people with a
Leica.
One would hope, if and when Leica come out with the "digital Leica M
body," it will be as close to the present M camera size as possible,
"and black!" Therefore allowing many of us to continue photographing our
subjects with the same anonymity we've enjoyed to date.
We'll have to wait and see. And if not, it's "real film and camera" for
some time to come. ;-)
