I also used the tape to cover the engraving and red Leitz dot on the front of my M6 when I was trying a little street photography. After several years, the slight "aging" of the finish of the exposed portions looked a little dull compared to the protected areas. The little rectangles of shiny finish looked strange. I guess I prefer I a trusted tool to aquire the look of having been used for the task. - Kevin kburke@iterated.com ---------- From: eenitka To: leica-users Subject: MR meters and top plates Date: Sunday, October 06, 1996 8:23AM I'd be interested in the groups ideas about top plate scratches when putting MR meters on M cameras. I was told that this is almost universal. By concensus is this 'true' and is there no way to put felt pads or something between the two metal surfaces. TIA ernie nitka
