Help! Red dot fell off

If you can't find an official red dot easily, go to a stationer's and get a box of red map pins - the kind used to locate things on maps, with round plastic heads.

 

Cut the head off one and split it in half - use Superglue (methacrylate) to glue it into the empty spot on the lens.

<<Well he is a Kiwi....>>

 

Yep, rugby season, but there's more. Indianapolis? Soon to be renamed Kiwiapolis in honor of motor racing champ Scott Dixon. :D

 

Cheers,

David

How true!

 

Scott's dad Ron is very active in bringing young talent to us, for which we are most grateful

 

Wade Cunningham, Christina Orr, Jonny Reid...all the good young racers are from your home

'fraid not, it's over three years old now. A favorite lens, I use it a lot.

 

I would contact your nearest Leica distributer or Solms.Ask politally and offer to pay.The chances are they will send you one free of charge by return.I have found that a polite letter /email/or phone call inevitably get a good response.Leica is a prestige product and I have always had good service from a polite request.

Pretty serious state of affairs I'm afraid .... red dots lead to greens stripes and you know where thats going to take you don't you.

 

As for nail varnish you'de need to find the particular Leica red which is not as easy as you might think, unless you want to end up with a pink dot ....

 

I would personally try Paloma Picasso nail varnish, they have quite a few distinctive reds in their collection....

 

And wouldn't anyone rather prefer Paloma Picasso nail varnish to a Portuguese, or probably Chinese plastic red dot... you might be starting a new trend here, the Safari green has passed over gently, now we can all get ready for the Paloma red-dot ....

... Just thinking about dating a guy, meeting up in absolute fantastic romantic restaurant, candles, mozart, smokey/comfortable sort of atmosphere...

 

"how was your day james?"

 

"well actually to tell you the truth it was awful"

 

 

"no... really why?"

 

 

"well I was out taking images of wallabees and my red dot came off.... it was an astoundingly horrible experience, some thing that will mark my future life for sure"

 

 

see what I mean ...... even if he does wear Camel Outback clothes, and has a 3 day beard, looks a bit like Clooney, talks like Alain Delon .... it would be over!

Allan: You're lucky to have a super race venue -- and lots of moto photo ops.

 

Isabelle: Love your writing style! Without knowing anything about makeup (unlike Steve), it's sooo hard for me to choose, so thanks for the tips.

 

After a day out in the wilderness, things could get tricky. 'Course, everything still functions fine, but how do you line up your tools in the dark if you can't find the red dot? Things have to be simple for men.

 

Cheers,

 

David

...so please be so kind as to elaborate

 

Too many persistent references to 'girlie' things such as handbags, shoes, make up and nail varnish. While most women I know are interested in these they don't pepper their conversations with them. It's as if you're trying _too_ hard to let us know you're a woman.

 

I could of course be wrong since we've not met.

Camels, the Outback and corks (to ward off the flies) are also Strine. Wallabies are also their national rugby team, which despite now being coached by a Kiwi, have failed to win too much in recent times... ;)
