AW: M7 or MP? I'm interested in the opinions of users of both.
Hi Seb.
Do you want to buy one of them? That is a very good idea. Yet I wouldn't know which one to sell to you. Basically they are the same - except when it comes to speed and practical use and what does define street photography (aka rangefinder-photography) better then "speed"? So the answer is clear: M7. By the way: I have no understanding why the M7 loses so much in value - it is all in the head.
Still, why does the MP sell at all? It has almost the same size/weight/material, manual is possible on both. So except for the AUTO setting there is no user difference.
it sells because of the myth. You actually start believing that the time you need to expose properly gives you a better image. That is basically nonsense as it is to dedicate the MP to B/W. The MP doesn't give you better pictures.
And why do i still have the MP? Because i love to rewind the film with this outrageously unpractical rewind knob and because it feels real cool to show off.
cheers
