[Leica] A Hex on Red Dots.....:-)

["B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>]

None. And I don't consider the presence or absence of a red dot a reason to
buy a camera, lens, or tie tack. The questions are: Will the camera do what
I need it to do? Is it will built - will it hold to the stresses to which I
will subject it? Am I comfortable using it? In other words, is it the best
photographic tool for me for the job I have to do. As to lenses: will the
particular lens allow me to produce the image I want to produce, given the
conditions in which I will be using it? Will it hold up over time? Oh, and
with the lens, as with the camera, assuming the camera or lens is the
most/more expensive of several available, is the quality gain worth the
price differential.

Red dots? Those are something to cover up on your camera and your face...:-)
