Pangur Ban Posted February 12, 2015 Share #5 Posted February 12, 2015 Congratulations, but beware - the ownership of one gets one curious about the others and before you know it you're asking about which one to get next... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrh68uk Posted February 13, 2015 Share #7 Posted February 13, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dave, congratulations. I, also, bought a lovely back MP from Mike in 2011 and have just recently purchased a lens from him which I'm delighted with. The MP is a beauty and I hope you enjoy using yours as I have mine.

gberger Posted February 14, 2015 Share #12 Posted February 14, 2015 I bit the bullet early on, and got my wife an M4 - - - to go with the M4 I got to replace my IIIc. IT WORKED!! No negative vibes from there on out. (But she kept "borrowing" my 90TE) Of course, we are hot dogs and beans for quite some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r7photo Posted February 14, 2015 Share #13 Posted February 14, 2015 Hello I have never shot film m, I own m240,, thinking of buying mp, question I love flicker and viewing on line, how do you convert scan process to digital?

pico Posted February 15, 2015 Share #15 Posted February 15, 2015 Hi just purchased my first Leica camera a Leica MP from Michael Rawcliffe a forum member a pure gent.Cant wait to get back into film photography again [...] Thank you for the post. It reminds me that I can no longer recall the special feeling I had when I got my first Leica, an M2 in 1965. All that remains is that I had in my hands all that I would ever need to make photographs. That little bit remains. All the tech that followed is immediately immaterial. Welcome. You could not have acquired a better camera. -- Pico - tired and recollecting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could not have acquired a better camera. -- Pico - tired and recollecting. So presently a Contax T for you? (The original model, not the T2, T3. If needed one can freely over-/underexpose by changing the ISO before each shot - and back to correct after the series.) Winter's over soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
