[Leica] Dr. Blacktape, meet Dr. Scholl

["Peter A. Klein" <pklein@2alpha.net>]

Dear Dr. Blacktape,

In my recent Leica acquisitions, I picked up an old Accura 28-135mm zoom
finder. It makes my old IIIf much easier to shoot with.  It's a quantum
leap better than the Leitz Immarect finder, and a glasses wearer can see
the entire frame at all focal lengths.  But it has a conical metal eyepiece
that could wreak havoc on my eyeglasses.  I've temporarily made it
glasses-friendly with a piece of "moleskin," cut into a circle, with the
eyepiece hole punched out using a looseleaf notebook punch.  Dr. Blacktape,
meet Dr. Scholl!

I would like to replace this temporary covering with something cleanable
and of a suitable color--namely black, so it doesn't refect ambient light
from behind my glasses into my eye.  Pray tell, dear Doctor, is there any
particular brand of black tape that is less prone to bleed glue from the
edges, or leave a skicky residue on the camera when removed after a period
of "Leica incognito."

I ask this with, of course, the *deepest* respect, and in all sincerity and
seriousness.  Really.

Yours truly,
Spec Wearer in Seattle
