Advertisement Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Hi MPerson, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bill Posted June 29, 2010 Share #1602 Posted June 29, 2010 I have to say, the only thing in the world that would lead to my trading in my M7 and M2 would be an MP3... Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielericweiss Posted June 29, 2010 Share #1604 Posted June 29, 2010 Does anyone elses rangefinder window look like this? Not sure if it's supposed to be this way, with that little L shaped part sticking out slightly...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macbookguy Posted July 8, 2010 Share #1606 Posted July 8, 2010 I got my brand new MP a la carte today, I think Im in love:) Just a quick question. I think the "wheel" for the shutter time goes a bit to heavy. Will that be better when I have used it for a while or can I adjust it with the little screw on the top of it?

chrism Posted July 8, 2010 Share #1607 Posted July 8, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I got my brand new MP a la carte today, I think Im in love:) Just a quick question. I think the "wheel" for the shutter time goes a bit to heavy. Will that be better when I have used it for a while or can I adjust it with the little screw on the top of it? It does get smoother with time and usage. Just like loosening up the focus ring on a lens, you don't have to do it by taking photographs; you can simply twiddle it until it loosens (but there are many advantageous side effects to using film to loosen the shutter speed dial!) Do post up a picture of your new love. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Thanks, I think I will twiddle with it tonight and see if anything happens:) Shutter speed dial was the correct word for it, not "shutter time wheel" as I wrote. When I wrote the post I just could not come up with the right name, think I had a blackout, maybe too mutch beer:D I post a pic of it tomorrow!

aesop Posted July 9, 2010 Share #1610 Posted July 9, 2010 Here is my Leica MP ...awesome hook-up, Macbookguy, welcome to the forum (and the club ). Now go and use that camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted July 9, 2010 Share #1611 Posted July 9, 2010 Here is my Leica MP very nice photos but wrong lense :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesop Posted July 9, 2010 Share #1612 Posted July 9, 2010 <snip>...can I adjust it with the little screw on the top of it? ...and just in case you are still not crystal clear on the above, do *not* fiddle with the screw on the shutter speed dial (or indeed any other screws on the camera). You have done the correct thing by bringing your "issue" to the forum for an initial sounding. Ultimately, your dealer and Leica hold the definitive word on such issues. Worth remembering.

Marty Posted July 9, 2010 Share #1614 Posted July 9, 2010 My now overall favourite combo and one of the first pictures with it - on the lowly Kodak Gold 400. Just love it. It is also very difficult to compare to the M9. The two are so different. The MP feels, sounds and looks better, is easier to hold, ready quicker for shooting, and much simpler. What a difference a few materials and millimeters make! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplomley Posted July 9, 2010 Share #1615 Posted July 9, 2010 Marty, the disparity between the M9 and MP, or any film M for that matter, really widens when you load in a roll of B&W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macbookguy Posted July 9, 2010 Share #1619 Posted July 9, 2010 I dont know if I should ask this here but I do it anyway. I was out today and took some photos. I was using T-max 100. It was very sunny so I could never take shots with the lens wide open. Can I shot a roll of T-max 100 at iso 50 or 25 and have it processet at iso 50 or 25?

Yes, but effectively you will be over-exposing the film and underdeveloping (called pull processing) to compensate. It doesn't really slow down the film. Another option would be to use a neutral density filter to cut the overall light entering the lens. In bright light, you might try some Ilford Pan-F 50 film. It delivers spectacular photos.
