People keep saying "Nice Leica" when I shoot with RX1R

I think maybe you are somehow a more interesting or attractive looking person than average so that people are looking to engage you in conversation. People just pretty much ignore me. Or maybe people really are a lot more attractive holding a Leica than a Sony. I would not know.
But anyway, I occasionally I have used the line "Oh, its just an old prototype. I don't think we sold any of these."

Hideous? Rather silly and strong language just because I used the same material to cover the entire face of the camera. How would this "botch" the aesthetics of a camera. Strange comment; to each his own.

before you know it, people will be asking if you are using real Scotch tape on this camera, to make those great images.

I think so, I just point and shoot ;-)
The one the camera store recommended or
The one that cost 3,000 dollars.
Funny stuff, just like the 'your camera takes great photos'. ... well it does but.. ;-)
Suggested (tongue-in-cheek) responses above...

well, nobody has ever said it to me and if they did, i would be absolutely certain they knew nothing about cameras. but if they did, i would just respond "wish it was a leica" even tho i don't. it's just comments from passing ships. makes the day more fun.
Just expressing an aesthetic opinion, sorry about that. I think the original RX1 metal finish looks like it belongs with the lens, and that the 100% textured surface really doesn't. It creates a look that says that it has been covered up.
I guess I'll keep my opinions about looks to myself from now on.

I definitely prefer no labels.
I don't own a single piece of clothing with a logo or corporate slogan or image of any kind. I would feel like a billboard for that company. I never considered covering a camera or tool label however.
Meanwhile, I believe in the non-camera case look.
My rx100 case is a cheap looking sunglasses case, a perfect tapered shape for in/out of pocket, not an obvious item for theft.
My R1 accessory kit is a beat up toilet bag, nasty looking, batteries, external flash, accessory lenses, all kinds of good stuff. Seen in a car or hotel room, not a likely theft target.
I gave my R1 Sony leather case away, have a wide snug wrist strap so I can't drop it, and transport it loose so it is 'more ready' to use , then stuff it under some soft stuff in the trunk. Perhaps I should get a non-descript beat up box to put it in trunk or hotel room.
Prior to R1, the beat up toilet kit fit the S85 camera, conversion lenses, everything.

Personally, I have never had anyone comment on my RX1. People must think that it is just another P&S. But if someone ever does mistake it for a Leica, I may respond with a snarky comment about how I left my Leica at home, because the RX1 is so much better. The only untruth in that statement would be that I actually own a Leica. ;-)

Stick a Leica decal on your P&S?

True.
"Which Leica is that"
"I'm testing a prototype M10 Cartier-Bresson special edition - it will be out next year and cost $50,000 to invited customers only."

I think that my wording above is not very clear. In truth, I do not own a Leica. The untruth would be claiming that I do.
