earleygallery Posted November 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can't wait to see what people do to cover up the red dot on the new M6! Let's see your efforts, be that black tape or black/silver repainted dots. Maybe even something new? I'm assuming the dot on the M6 is also 'all new' so maybe different techniques are going to have to be found - is it stuck on like the others or another type of fitment? Is it all flush or does it have raised lettering? Is it a different size? Please share. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted November 2, 2022 Share #8 Posted November 2, 2022 That’s the spirit ! Show your red dot ! I am pretty sure that the huge (silent) majority of Leica owners actually like it ! Otherwise Leitz then Leica would have not used it for decades ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirubadanieru Posted November 7, 2022 Share #17 Posted November 7, 2022 I rather tape the Leica M6 lettering than the dot if I have to pick one, but if I can avoid both (by buying an MP / M2 / M3 / M4 / MA) that’s ideal : ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huss Posted November 7, 2022 Share #18 Posted November 7, 2022 When I get a new car, the first thing I do is pull off the hood ornament and throw that in the trash, then tape over any other identifying pieces. That way no-one knows what I am driving. I like to drive incognito. It fools prospective thieves. "Hey Bobby let's take his Mercedes" "You sure? I can't tell what it is, there is tape on it. I think it is a Yugo" 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
