Doc Henry Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share #21 Posted September 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I go back and forth between the M7 and the MP. I prefer the AE of the M7, especially since I almost always want to set the aperture and then vary the shutter speed to get the right exposure, and the MP's shutter dial isn't very ergonomic to move easily with a fingertip. On the other hand I like the rewind of the MP, which feels more sturdy, and the fact it's not so dependent on batteries. On balance, if I were to do it again I would probably have two M7s rather than one of each. Chris Yes Chris M7 is very convenient especially for a subject taken by surprise, that's practical side that I love this camera. The MP should be to shoot "well thought" that takes its time, I think the two are complementary. I ordered the MA but I'm afraid I'll miss a few pictures ... I get out my Lightmeter Lunasix Gossen Chris,as I said above , I have 2 M7 with a lens on each body , no need to change Regards Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atufte Posted October 1, 2014 Share #23 Posted October 1, 2014 I also considering an M-A because i love the "all mechanical" Leica, but what i remember as a hassel from my M4 shooting days, is the light reading with ND filters, which i use in different grade all the time...not so funny to first measuring light, then calculate in the ND grade to to the reading...uhhh, shot long gone, so I may just keep my M7 and be happy with that instead...but M-A is tempting, and we should buy it just for supporting Leica for their making of a new film camera in 2014...that alone need praise...!
