Great enlarger. I have a IIa modified.

 

Totally. My Black and Gray IIC color as well as my V35 don't see any use since I own my IIC fitted with a brand new 65 and Focotar-II 100mm.

 

My Xpan prints are incredible, also. Best enlarger ever.

Here it is, sporting its new BP Brass shutter wind lever ring. Can't wait to brass this thing.

My used but mint MP arrived today from Red Dot Camera in the UK. I am really looking forward to shooting with it.

Today 30 degrees Celsius outside, sitting in my cellar printing the latest rolls of my MP. I'm so glad I still use this wonderful piece of equipment. Now the FB prints are washing out.

Lovely. I wonder what equipment you use for your printing

 

 

I use my LPL enlarger for 10 years now. A simple clock.Ilford paper FB.

 

It's also on this thread:

my black paint collection

 

(not a "real" black paint M2 so I posted it in the MP thread)

 

note that the little Voigltänder Héliar 28 is black painted brass as well

 

Very nice the blackpaint glasses. The lux is from the MP3 series, where did you get it? Whats that M2?

thanks!

 

Well, it took some time to get this collection together. The Lux was exchanged from the photographer Pierre Crié, a friend, who got a Lux 75 for it, and the other lenses were also private sales. The M2 (and the Leicavit) were used and not very nice to look at, so I decided to let them paint by a french guy who makes this very well. For me this is just fine, I don't need original things, I admire just the "look and feel" of nicely made cameras. The MP is often in use with the Lux, and the small Voigtländer is a nice glas, for film.

 

Actually I'm just missing a "50 Jahre Summicron" black paint to complete the collection, but prices a bit weierd now so it may take some more time to get one.

Is there a "50 Jahre summicron bp"? I know about it in silver.

I have the "millenium 50 lux" in blackpaint and I like the focus ring and the E46 Filter diameter.

It is from the series of your 35 cron, but the 35 cron does not have the nice focus ring.

The lux you have is a beauty, but is the filter diameter a going one?

Yours Leicavit is also from the MP3 series, like the one I have- please see the "I love my MP3 thread" in the analog area...

I wish to have an "old" 50 cron in blackpaint but "money is too tight to mention"

Viel spaß mit Deiner wunderbaren Ausrüstung.

Is it just me or does the chrome of the MP look more shiny than that of the old Leicas?

 

The chrome on the M6 and later definitely seems to be more specular - it's very obvious under direct halogen lighting.

 

I prefer the old.

 

Was the old process stopped due to environmental or Health & Safety regulations ?
