I don’t think many people even know what Leica cameras even are. I have a colleague who professed to know about photography and was telling me about his camera setup and how long he’d been doing it as a hobby. I had my M9 in my bag and he asked what camera I used. I took it out and handed it to him and he asked if it was a bridge camera. Gave me a good chuckle.

Depends on people around us i guess. I must have one of the first CL bodies in my country. I taped the red dot in black for sake of discretion and was using ZM lenses for a shooting last month. First think a young lady told me when i arrive "oh but you have a Leica"! Hopeless...

After much hand wringing I have settled on this for all of my cameras:

Well i may have put a bit of gloss on the facts. I had not ZM lenses actually but a ZM 50/1.5 and a Leica 35/1.4 but the young lady was in fact my brother in law who believes that Leica (or was it Laika?) was a dog in the space :D.

Yes, i talked to DAG, via email. He didn't get it. I've undone the screw to have a look.

 

The problem is the screw fills the whole hole ;) There is no rebate on which to set the decal.

 

I might one day just stick one on somewhere...i like the Leica logo.

 

At the moment I'm past that particular angst. There's always something else to worry about. :)

 

All best...
