A large project anyhow.
There seem to be two divergent threads in the 'cameras as jewellery' school.
The first is the one we've been discussing - spend money to make it
look different and more interesting. "To whom and for what?" I ask
myself.
The other is the 'antique argument': enjoy the patina that comes
from lots of use, and don't spend a dime. And, of course, it makes
you look like a pro.
Personally I couldn't care less about brassing, dings or dents
providing the camera and lens do their jobs.
One of the big problems with mint(ish) Leica kit is some people's
reluctance to use it because 'it may affect the value'. It's a sad
argument - these are tough cameras which thrive on exercise. All my
Rs and Ms are in constant use. If they pick up the odd ding as a
result, that's life.
