I always covered the red dot on my Leicas. I've done the same on my X2D, primarily to avoid thieves, but also unwanted attention.

I disguised my Hasselblad X1dii six months ago for the same reasons, but I included placing electrical tape over the orange shutter, all the logos and even went so far as using silver tape to make the corners appear worn through the black coating. I still draw the same attention and get asked questions which I politely answer; I think the large lens gives it away. "Is that a Hasselblad?"

I'm the only guy on Maui with a 907x. It's a scene every time I whip my camera out in public. I stay home mostly, and take pictures around the house. Didn't die in the fires, so greatful to be here.

I used to have a Hassy about a decade ago; sorry, so extra or unwanted attention! BTW: Do you happen to be good looking? I'm kinda plain/sorta ugly - oh, and old😢. I'd actually like the attention.

Some photographers cover the logos on their camera bodies simply because the white text or logo on a black body is very high contrast and tends to draw the subject's eye. Now try convincing anyone to put tape over their little red dot.

I am pretty sure that the anodised finish is damaged after a few months under that gorilla-tape.

I did not ever have the feeling that the Hasselblad logo is drawing any attention. Here in Germany it seems that the brand is not that well-known, at least outside of the photographer bubble.

They are not at all known where I am. But I need only be wrong around a thief once. So the logos are covered.

I have always used gaffers tape. It doesn't leave a sticky residue.

The Hasselblad text across the camera strap kind of defeats the purpose of putting tape on the rest of the camera.

Fyi, gorilla tape is really strong. I usually use gaffers tape, comes off easier but strong enough to stay on.

Do what Pentax does with their K-3 lll Monochrome and carefully paint the logo black. It looks elegant and stylish ✌️

I used gaffers tape. No need to shout out what it is. Same with the Red Dots. Low profile is always better.

I was surprised when everyone had to ask “what camera is that? Hasselblad?” And I have to explain it’s a brand from Sweden. And the next question of “how much is it?” Always makes me uncomfortable. Now that the logo is not at display, I think people just assume it’s another Nikon or Canon

If if give to pyschological peace of mind, do want you want to do. However guising the hasselblad logo, will not help prevent from be robbed or being stolen due to unique shape of the camera body and it the organge shutter button. Every thieve will recognize the camera. However I do wish this expersive camera body would have similar security measuera as every smartphone has. Hasselblad did do a very very bad job in this regard. As a hasselblad enthusias I dislike that you modded your camera.

Dislike Absolutely wasting people time with this kind of video. Curiosity is the best way to make connections and get knowledge. If you worry to someone stole it then why you are in street?? Stay at home, close doors and windows. Dislike
