I can understand Leica's desire to use the red dot for brand name
recognition, but it certainly makes it easy for would/be thieves to spot the
Leica quickly. (hence the black electrical tape trick) This is especially
true for the black M6 where the dot really stands out. Why doesn't Leica
change this to a black dot with silver lettering or better yet a blank dot.
After all the M6 and R's already have Leica engraved into the front of the
top plate.
