Lost my dot

[chrismoret]

Just got back from our trip to India.(...what a ride...) It's just that in the heat of taking pics over there the red Leica dot on my M4p body came of and is lost. Are these things replaceable, there is a odd looking freckle on the body now.

Lost the dot of my M6 somewhere in a sub-saharan sand dune two years ago... Wrote to Leica UK, got a brand new dot free of charge a few days later.

Gonna try that for sure. Thanks Vincent!

If Leica UK won't dot you, then you can get them from Malcolm Taylor or DAG in the USA.

See, http://leica.nemeng.com/017b.shtml
Had a feeling that sherrykrauter.com has some long back and could not find one on the website (http://www.sherrykrauter.com/index.php).
Interesting tidbits about the red dot:
1. Lots of users tend to hide the red dot.
2. Red dots are available as black dots too.
3. India is so full of red dots it will be quite difficult to retrieve a lost one over there.
4. Camera functionality is not affected when the red dot is removed or lost. 🙂

That's possibly politically incorrect but it is clever.

Dot ended up in a teeny weeny polka dot bikini? 😛

I'm not meaning this to be flippant but isn't a dab of red paint adequate? Or a punching from some red sticky-backed pvc material, perhaps, would anyone ever know?

I have to agree with that 😀 it's just too funny! Someone must be wearing it by now...

(please, don't anyone take offence, none is meant)

So there is the possibility an Indian woman in Jaipur is walking around with a Leica-logo on here forehead? 😛

You could go to the $2 store and buy a packet of stickers 🙂

That red dot is the most expensive part of the camera!

Just think, when you get a second M4p, you'll be able to tell them apart no problem!

You lost your red dot? Are you married in the traditional Indian way. So sorry.

Or was your L... married, maybe? Are there male and female L... cameras? How do they marry to gain a red dot in India? Legally how?

More questions than answers.
