Well, team, to close the chapter, the Hadley Pro is ordered. I thought I was 
going with the same color scheme as my Domkes, and I was right. Just not as 
right as I thought. I have two color schemes: green, and black and grey. 
Thought I?d continue the grey and black color scheme. My daughter, though 
(and if I?m honest, me) decided that the dark green with chocolate leather 
was a more subtle option, which is really exactly what I was going for. 
Sadly, that left the grey, blue and red ones in the cold. So sad.

Now, back to obsessing about my next 50mm lens. Yay! 

Thanks or your advice!
