hollisd Posted February 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've researched and can't find an elegant tape solution for covering the red dot on a silver M. Anyone know of any pics out there of silver tape such as duct tape? I find the retouched dots all try too hard so I don't want to see any acid miracles but rather simply a piece of gaffers tape or equivalent like black cameras. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp58 Posted February 8, 2017 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2017 I have used silver/gray gaffer's tape on my silver m9p. There is no red dot on the m9p, but the gaffer tape works to cover logos and such. Happy to send a photo if you would like to see how it looks.

Peter H Posted February 8, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Taping over will maybe serve your purpose, that's for you to decide, but I don't think it will ever be "elegant". 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree but it's curious because I find a simple piece of black tape over the logo on a black camera to be a neat and effective solution whereas silver chrome is not the same. I would almost rather see a piece of camo or snakeskin (!) or something way off vs silver tape Edited February 8, 2017 by hollisd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaFFM Posted February 8, 2017 Share #9 Posted February 8, 2017 Don't disagree but it's curious because I find a simple piece of black tape over the logo on a black camera to be a neat and effective solution whereas silver chrome is not the same. I would almost rather see a piece of camo tape or snake skin tape or something purposefully off vs silver tape Effective solution for what? Just leave the camera as it is... just my two cents. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Q Posted February 8, 2017 Share #15 Posted February 8, 2017 This precisely why I bought a black M10. If it were a P version I'd go with silver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david strachan Posted February 8, 2017 Share #17 Posted February 8, 2017 I really don't get the cover-the-dot thinking. But I do get the Hello Kitty covered cameras from Japan...fun. cheers... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted February 8, 2017 Share #18 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I expect that DAG (Don Goldberg) will produce black dots to fit the M10, as he has for prior digital Ms. edit....I just checked in with him and he thinks the M8/M9 dots may be the same size (the M240 dot was bigger), but he hasn't had an M10 on hand to compare. Does anyone know if the size is the same? Jeff Edited February 8, 2017 by Jeff S 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted February 8, 2017 Share #19 Posted February 8, 2017 Why not take the dot out and paint it silver. And if you don't like Leica logo then simply grind it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
