MTC Photography Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Apparently the Leica red dot began in 1913 But the red dot appeared on Leica camera body and Leica case pretty late. In what year Leica began put Leica red dot logo on camera body and camera case my Leica IIIf has no red dot on it, My Leica M6 has red dot It was between Leica IIIf and M6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 They put it on the R3 in the 70s, and apparently on the first 100 M4-2 bodies. Then they dropped it on the M line until the M4-P. It was originally a 'Leitz' dot on the cameras - early 'Wetzlar' M6 bodies have the 'Leitz' dot, later bodies the 'Leica' dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The digital M9 had a red dot logo, but it was dropped for the M9P. I can do without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg M Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The higher-end "P" digital bodies, thankfully, do not utilize the red dot. Here's my MP-240 outfit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 All the cool kids are replacing them with black dots, apparently: Black Leica Logo for M6-M7-M8-M9, M10 & Q Cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_ante Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Probably using the red dot logo began sometime after Leitz no longer manufactured Leica cameras. Shall ask my friend, who is an expert about such minutiae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
