There are collectors, worriers, and photographers. Photographers go out and take lots of pictures. Use the hell out of their equipment. Collectors buy/sell/collect cool stuff. Worriers worry that someone might see them using a Leica. As if 99.9% of the public has even a remote clue what a Leica is. "Your flash didn't go off." So they tape over everything. Then some year later worry about how to get the sticky gooey or hardened tape junk off of what was a great camera. Should have been out taking pictures and not worrying about "red dots and tape." Sounds like a Niles soup... Red Beans and Rice. Jim
