Archiver Posted September 6, 2011 Share #21 Posted September 6, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) As a tangent: I know that lots of people love the 'well brassed' look of an old Leica, but surely I can't be the only person who doesn't? The thought of a gorgeous chrome or black paint camera going all spotty and patchy doesn't appeal to me at all. I'd prefer it if the coating was so hardy that it looked brand new for decades, regardless of how 'well used' it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboflick Posted September 6, 2011 Share #23 Posted September 6, 2011 I sent to mine to DAG when the vulcanite chipped off and he reapplied it, No problems 3 years later. I now keep it in an artisan and artist half case. I would like it to still look relatively new when i pass it to my descendants, my grandmother bought the camera new in 1959. Nik keep the vulcanite that has chipped off and send it with the camera to DAG he does excellent work. You will think he sent you a new camera when you receive it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share #24 Posted September 7, 2011 Just back from a trip to Italy with the MP and M2. I found I tended to use the M2 - perhaps 95% of the time. I really like the look of it with the vulcanite coming off so I think I'll leave it as is. I'm considering selling the the MP. I LOVE my M2!
