I got a Black dot Leica logo from DAG. But what is the best way to get the original red dot logo off my Leica M6?

To get the black one on, what did you use? Silicone as suggested in one post, or something else?

Re use your red dot

Take the old red dot and affix it to your Bessa or Epson RD-1😱🙂

l'm sure that the very same grinder is used in the Rollei factories to knock a ding on the left top corner of the Rollei 35 before they leave the factory😀

Is anyone making Black Dot lens mount release?

Looks nice Akiva.

The one I put on my M9 must be a bit crooked cause my horizons are always just a bit slanted. 🙂

Hi,

It could be a matter of balance. Have you weighed the red dots and compared them with the weight of the black ones. I mean black holes are heaviest and it could, therefore, follow naturally. ;-)

Regards, David

Can I ask where you got that lens hood?
Is it 39mm screw in?

Cheers

Buy a M4-2 or backward, then you only need to care is engrave not the dot.

Hi everybody, my black dot just arrived today from DAG and I would like to put it on my new m6ttl. ANy recommendations on what kind of adhesive to use?

cheers, michael

Don't the DAG black dots already have double-stick tape on the back? My last one did!

Awesome, thanks a lot for that reply. I'm still trying to build up the courage to take off the red dot. I just got the camera and the black dot today and I'm a little nervous....

Cheers, michael

Yes, a much cheaper option than buying a $25 black dot.

No no you are supposed to look through the OTHER end of the camera! 🙂 🙂 🙂

I tried to take the red dot off using my thumb with and without a rubber band, that didn't work too well, then I used toothpicks to move it a little bit… then I gave up… I guess I will let the red dot stay on it until I my thumb heals….

cheers, michael

Michael, you need patience. Just use your finger nails to grip the silver lettering. Twist clockwise and then anti clockwise repeatedly. It is very easy.

There might also be a slim chance someone before you took off the red dot for aligning the RF patch and reused the red dot with strong double sided tape. Perhaps a cotton bud stick with some alcohol applied along the edges can help? Good luck!

FYI, the black dots are no more from DAG. Other than painting one, they are not to be found anywhere. I had one on my M10 and when it came back from service, it had a red one.

Don claims Leica does not want to sell them to him anymore because they are reserving them for cameras that originally came with the black logos.

I bought about 8 of them from DAG years ago. Glad I kept em. I've swapped them on most, if not all of my black cameras.
