Bruce Gilden's Leica

I wonder why the area surrounding his shutter button is not chrome like on normal MP's?
It is black like M6's and M4-P's etc...
 
He's a well known modern street photographer in NYC known for an in-your-face ambush approach utilizing a separate hand-held flash and hyper-focal techniques. I saw him in action once. He weaves throughout the crowded streets like a stealth fighter, flashes a pic inches from the subjects face and disappears before anyone has a chance to object. I was going to speak with him about his camera but he literally disappeared before my very eyes. I saw him several times in an afternoon. I think he wears the One Ring.
 
Haha, Bruce is perhaps using the hood as a crumple zone in case he gets TOO close ;)
He mentioned to me that he has an M8 as well, but it's still in the box, unused... unless film disappears completely, he shoots Tri-X only.

Looks like he hates the MP's - 28mm lines?

I find 0.72 finder 28 lines unusable, so switched to 24mm with 0.72s using a hotshoe finder. I find the Zeiss 25 finder allows me to frame so much faster and more comfortably.

I have a 0.58 finder which is wonderful with 28mm.
 
Hmmm...I was expecting to see some traces of brown from whence the camera came from after an altercation with an innocent victim....:p There is always time.

I wonder if he would still be alive in a 'concealed carry' state?
