Jothekorean Posted October 2, 2016 Share #1  Posted October 2, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just got this new last week! Started out with Leica Q as a compromise to M. Sold Q, then got M6 with few ZM Lenses with money left over.  Loved the film Leica so much that I decided to upgrade to a new MP a la carte with Summicron 35mm v4 as an one body one lens set-up!  So slim, simple, and timeless, I no longer miss Q nor crave for the latest and newest digital M.  I hope this one will stay with me for a long time to come...   Welcome, dear visitor!

ironhorse Posted October 3, 2016 Share #4 Â Posted October 3, 2016 Just from a pure aesthetic viewpoint there is no contest. The MP is so much more graceful and well proportioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memorexx Posted October 3, 2016 Share #8 Â Posted October 3, 2016 is that an artisan artist strap? and how long is the strap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jothekorean Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share #9 Â Posted October 3, 2016 is that an artisan artist strap? and how long is the strap?It's A&a acam 310.I like it's 1meter lenghth, but this new flat version is inferior to 301 because threads come apart happen more easily.

Memorexx Posted October 4, 2016 Share #10  Posted October 4, 2016 Oh. I'm currently debating with myself. I have an M with the red flat artisan artist strap where you can adjust the length really easy. Debating on whether I should get another one or a red silk strap for my mp:( can't decide. The silk one costs like 170€ here -.- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silk one costs like 170€ here -.- I have used an A&A silk for about 10 years on my MP but as much as I like the quality and feel of it, it is just not long enough for my preferred way of cross- shoulder carrying.  I recently changed it for a Deadcameras leather strap.

It comes in two different lengths. 100 or 120mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honcho Posted October 17, 2016 Share #17  Posted October 17, 2016 Which silk strap did you use? It comes in two different lengths. 100 or 120mm.  They are both too short for me. If the 120cm strap was  7-10cm longer, it would be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
