pum pum Posted July 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) i was looking for leica MP but i saw MP classic limited edition with 50mm cron set at my local store. do you know the difference between usual MP and MP classic ?? i already ask the store manager about that but i'm not sure with the answer. he said that the classic is all mechanical without any electric supply. i know that all MP is all mechanical except for metering. i also check the price, i feel that the classic with 50mm cron combination doesn't have much different in price just slight expensive. i still consider which one i want, what is your choice ?

Leica has a history with their MP's. I think, but I can be wrong the M4-P is a kind of first MP. I thought the MP classic is more like M6 non ttl and the MP is more like the M7 with a on/off switch. Like the M6 it's only metering is electric, but the M7 is not. So I think you can compare with the m6 and m7 diffence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted July 19, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 19, 2010 A Photo Visual Library on Leica MP Classic outfit - Part V - MIR Image Library Nice set but it's of most appeal to collectors, and they'd want in boxed and unused........ No advantage over a regular MP, and lacks the meter, Hmmmm not sure which I'd go for. I'd probably choose the Classic just to be different, and sod the collectors!

JosefSchachner Posted July 20, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2010 The MP classic has NO metering, i.e. like M <=M4 The MP has metering, but no Automatic, i.e. like the M6 The M7 has metering and time-automatic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
