On a lot of SLR lenses, there is a small plastic dome near the lens mount. For instance, the red dome on Minolta and Leica lenses, white dome on Pentax Lenses or blue dome on Zeiss.
I have read somewhere that it is referred to as a "finger point". Is there any functional value to this dome? I always thought it was there for marketing purposes only.
