just like my camera gear ....
I don't really care how it looks, but how it functions 

In the early 60-70 black paint cameras were
popular with photo journalists stationed in Vietnam because they didn't make much reflection. 

So black paint cameras were hip - like wearing an
Army jacket with a 7th Cavalry patch.

But shiny black cameras - now they told the
world the man was just a wannabe wimp.
First thing when the wannabe got his camera was to take sandpaper to it so it looked like it had been to war and had it rough. Maybe added a dent where the Cong got a near miss.
If pressed, he admitted the closest he got to 'Nam was going down to the draft board and getting his student deferment -- but he told a tale of what the camera had been through over there, and how he got it from the friend of a friend of a PJ who bought the farm over there. 

And it wasn't a student deferment, it was
a psych 4-F: Schizoid narcissism.  He
didn't quite know what that meant but it
sounded cool.
