Let's remember that it was Juan who brought up the issue as his preference. I know Juan. We've spent many hours together photographing in San Francisco. To suggest, even obliquely, that he's a Leica "fondler" is way off the mark. His M6 has seen a lot of use ... and his photos have been well received in numerous venues. Anyway, Leica fondlers don't use black tape. They are proud of their PRISTINE cameras.
