Leica changed the MP via the warranty this month, previous camera was bought late 2024 and had number started with 595 but the new one camera is labeled with 10.02.2025 on the box but the number starts with 589. How it can be possible? Camera was in the sealed box and everything is alright. I thought that the number should be incremented while producing new cameras. Any thoughts about it? -
Greetings all! This past December I decided to dive into film photography for the first time. I bought a new Leica MP and used 35mm summicron ASPH (v5). I took the camera and a number of different film stocks on a family trip to Taiwan. What a joy to use! I finally understand what others have said with regards to the pleasure of using these cameras, regardless of how the photos come out. A few things I learned: I tended to underexpose and need to get a better handle on the exposure meter. As a wearer of glasses, the 35mm framelines at 0.72x magnification can, at times, be challenging to see. I also found myself wanting to frame tighter (50mm Summilux is on the wishlist!!). I need to get better at ensuring that the camera is level - I had to straighten a few photos in post. I need to work on white balance and editing in post. Either way, I'm really excited to continue down this path and looking forward to more participation in this forum! Here are a few photos from the trip:

Hi, I had Leica M6 classic. UPS lost the package and obviously I’m going to get the insurance.Now I have to see what to buy. My Leica M6 was super, but I have to recognize that the manual exposure control and manual focusing make me slow. I lose time and distract from what I shoot. From one side M7 seems to be a very good option, from all reviews I see the owners aré happy and enjoy it. I know M7 is with electronic exposure and M6 is fully manual , but is M7 serviceable? Is M7 so bad? And because I’m not sure wether I’m going to find M6 in same mint condition like one I had, the another option is to buy brand new MP. I know MP is “mechanical perfection” and it is nice and mechanical, but it is with manual exposure. what are your recommendations?

Tree bark, small version. Shot with Leica MP w/7Artisans 75mm F1.25 on Ilford HP5+ souped in HC110B for 5 minutes at 20C then scanned with Plustek 8200 and Vuescan software. I've been very pleasantly surprised by this lens, not bad for $299 US! Click on image for sharper photo.

I bought my leica mp in 2012. I use every day in a non-dusty environment. I do not change the lens at all. Dust began to enter the viewfinder immediately after use. The camera is so poorly assembled that a whole bunch of dust has accumulated inside the viewfinder. If you carry the camera under clothes, it is better to buy an older model, well-sealed. You will soon be disappointed with this dust bag. And this is a $ 5,000 camera .... No words. This is a terrible choice. Attaching photo

Ich besitze jetzt seit etwas einem halbe Jahr eine Leica MP (Produktion 2021). Mir ist dabei aufgefallen das bei den Zeiten 1/15 und 1/30 nach dem eigentlichen Ablaufen des Verschlusses noch etwas in der Kamera "nachschwinkt", wenn man das denn so nennen kann. In der angehängten Audio-Datei habe ich dies versucht einmal aufzunehmen. leica_mp_shutter_sound.mp3 Ist diese Geräusch normal für die MP und habt ihr das bei eurer MP (oder anderen analoger M) auch? Vielen Dank für eventuelle Hinweise

When using my Leica MP recently, I found that the shutter dial is loose in the middle of 1/50-1/60, and the shutter dial is not fixed, which annoys me a lot. Has anyone encountered this same problem? Mainly I want to figure out if this looseness affects my shutter speed and the actual use of 1/50 shutter speed 867b41d2d628c39d31e9a6fe82f98d6a.mp4 -

Hi everyone ! I’m very happy to be part of the family of the Leica now, I just received my very first Leica. I decided to purchased this M4 in a stunning condition. The thing is the next day I realised that was something little bit « strange » just between the flash bulb and the backdoor (check the picture), that there is a part of the top plate looks bent a little, is not huge on the picture but you can notice it and the backdoor is clicking a little bit as well.. Do you think that is normal or it could be an issue? I would appreciate any recommendations Thank y’all !
