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 !

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

Hello guys , I just bought a 21mm Elmarit f2.8 lens (the old one) for my Leica MP Typ 240. Really enjoyed the lens. I just noticed that its min focus distance is 0.7 while i read on the internet that you can find a version that focus at 0.38. Any other differences between the two lenses ? Somebody here have experience with the close focus version ? I took some Street Pictures and wrote a little article for my blog: www.walkingphotographer.net/blog/21mm-street-photography Thanks for your time ! Eolo www.walkingphotographer.net

I'm about to buy a factory new film Leica, and my choices are Leica MP and Leica M-A, and one thing, that could help me make the decision, is how bright the viewfinder is. I know of the difference between the two cameras, so my only concern, prior to buying, is the viewfinder, since i find mine (Leica M6) to be a bit to dim in certain situations, and annoying when flaring. Does anyone in the forum know how the viewfinders of the MP and M-A are compared side by side? Which camera has a brighter viewfinder?

In a months time or so, i'm gonna buy a companion for my trusted M6 manufactured in 1998, and i've decided, it's gonna be the MP. I can get a silver MP for a really good price at a dealer. I can get the black as well, but i don't like the high gloss black finish, so this really isn't an option for me. The only thing, i wan't to change, if i buy a black à la carte, is the black finish to the more durable black and a viewfinder without the 135 mm frameline, since i only shoot 35 mm. The price difference in total will be 1300 USD, if i choose the à la carte, where i "only" do get the matte black finish and the viewfinder with a clean 35 mm frameline, over the standard silver. I intend to keep it, and not selling it after some years. Is it worth the 1300 USD? Meaning; will i be 1300 USD happier in the long run just for the matte black finish and a clean 35 mm viewfinder? What's your opinion?

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.

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

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

I saw a M7 with 0.85 finder on eBay, but not the "a-la-carte" version, it comes with its original box, manuals, papers, body cap and shoulder strap... the seller said that, it is very rare~ anyone can tell me...? is it more expensive than the 0.72 version at its original price? is it rare? also.... is the concept similarly apply for MP? ...I want to get one 0.85 for my 50mm lens... : ) here is the eBay link (just for reference): Leica M7 RARE 0 85 MP Finder rangefinder Film Camera Body LNIB 4022243105058 | eBay

At the Pacific Ocean coast in Washington state these birds were flying very low to the surf. I only caught three frames of them before they were gone into the space that seems to go on forever at the ocean. Shot with Leica MP and Elmarit-M 28mm 1/250 @ f/11 on Kodak B&W CN, and scanned with Nikon Coolscan 5000ED. Here's another one taken earlier in the day when it was raining. Shot with Leica MP and Summicron-M 50mm 1/125 @ f/11 on Kodak B&W CN, and scanned with Nikon Coolscan 5000ED. Cheers, Mike

So how many of you are using an MP, whether stock or a-la-carte? I'm curious to know why Leica decided to put the rewind knob on stock MPs instead of the M7-style crank. Ah, if you want the rewind crank, just double the price, right? Second question... I photograph weddings for my business and am switching from digital EOS back to Leica M... like I used to! Do those of you who use MP cameras out there find the rewind knob excruciatingly slow and painful? How quick can you rewind and change films? Thanks very much!
