Stealth3kpl Posted September 19, 2013 Share #2985 Posted September 19, 2013 Mmm, one of my M2s developing a light leak, and my M9s not really floating my boat, I find myself considering selling the lot and getting another MP. Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted September 20, 2013 Share #2986 Posted September 20, 2013 Bought a very nice MP 0,72 today, dating 2004 Without a scratch! I wonder if the former owner was very carful or never used it? I am very happy with it. This one reminds me of my first MP , also a 2004/0,72 one,traded for an M8 years ago. Let's hope we never have to do that again... The photo is made with an M. Nice couple.

wda Posted September 21, 2013 Share #2988 Posted September 21, 2013 To save me ploughing through all 140-odd pages, does the OP still possess his MP? Are you still out there Allan? I must dust off my venerable M3 and try and catch up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikej Posted October 19, 2013 Share #2994 Posted October 19, 2013 Hi, all - just a quick note to say I was in my local Leica Store in DC yesterday, fondling the MP. I first posted to this thread in 9/2006 (No. 13) and have since moved to medium format. But I was reminded yesterday that no camera has felt as good in-hand as the MP since I moved on, including Hasselblad, Zeiss, Fuji, and Mamiya. Still a bank vault in your hands! Cheers, Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted October 31, 2013 Share #2995 Posted October 31, 2013 "Not a quick fling, but the camera for a lifetime." - Leica web site description of the MP. Just hearing the Leica Chairman describe the M8 as his 'flag ship' I started wondering when that mantle was taken from the MP. IMO 'flag ship' should represent excellence in design, manufacture, handling, reliability - Not a quick fling, but the camera for a lifetime !! Surely, that position lies with the MP, we'll even debate it with M7 owners, but to hand it to a 4 year transient model that, according to the owners here, continually falls over, contains plastic and no brass and can't focus is not in keeping with hero worship. The Leica flag ship is the MP ! :D Rolo Even in the days of the M, this seems to hold Pete 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RITskellar Posted November 9, 2013 Share #2996 Posted November 9, 2013 I love my MP's, but lately I've been seriously considering getting a new M 240 or Monochrom. I don't want to stop using the film M's, but I'm afraid that once I get a digital M, that will be the beginning of the end of my film use. What to do, what to do... Welcome, dear visitor!

jplomley Posted November 9, 2013 Share #2997 Posted November 9, 2013 I'm in the exact same boat Andy. I've been eyeing my chrome M6 Classic Wetzlar and Coolscan 9000 and after having some stick time with the MM wondering why I am bothering with film? What's holding me back is the fact that beautiful sensor is housed in a chassis containing archaic electronics and still faulty firmware which renders the discreet mode useless. What is the point of an M unless it is silent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted November 9, 2013 Share #2998 Posted November 9, 2013 I got a couple of M9s thinking I ought to make the switch to digital sometime, but it it all seems so expensive, and the PP so drawn out with results that don't please me as much as film. Consequently, I've bought an MP and will sell one of the M9s if not both. If you're happy with the output of your film cameras just keep getting your money's worth out of them and switch to digital when you have no other practical option. We might have a new M by then and it might be fully sorted. The other option is selling all the leica glass and getting the Sony A7R and native lenses.

Stealth3kpl Posted November 9, 2013 Share #2999 Posted November 9, 2013 You know what? I'm going to list both of my M9s and get that Rolleiflex 2.8F I've always wanted, and maybe another MP . I'll use my GXR for digital. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use my GXR for digital. I understand where you are coming from, Pete, but for those times when you want digital, an M9 is surely a more enjoyable camera to use than a GXR? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
