SiOnara Posted January 24, 2015 Share #3165 Posted January 24, 2015 Picked up a new MP at Wilkinson Cameras in the UK for £3000. I thought my M 240 was well made until I got this MP!

Peng Kang Hill Posted March 1, 2015 Share #3170 Posted March 1, 2015 After debating for 6 months to decide on either an M-A or an MP, I went for an MP alacarte. I'm sure it'll be the last camera I'll be buying. Or am I just day-dreaming? Welcome, dear visitor!

enboe Posted March 1, 2015 Share #3171 Posted March 1, 2015 Looking at the most recent entry, I was wondering where you found the silver battery chamber cover? Random thought: for those nostalgic for the early M4-2 bodies with the red Leitz dot on the body, perhaps a line of battery chamber covers in silver, black paint, or black chrome rings with different material inserts including ones saying Leitz, Leica, or model number in the classic or modern script. I'd like a silver ring, black insert, silver Leica text for the idea, please. Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted March 1, 2015 Share #3172 Posted March 1, 2015 Looking at the most recent entry, I was wondering where you found the silver battery chamber cover? Eric With the MP a la carte I got two covers. One in black with a " scewdriver slot " and one with matching colors and silver ( I bought a chrome MP ).

Eric Hi Eric, When I ordered, I requested for the battery cover to be in silver because the vulcanite in black comes with the standard black cover. I thought it would be aesthetically pleasing to have it in chrome. I'm plenty pleased with it. Like Paulus, they also gave me a black one with the screwdriver head.

Fairkid Posted March 7, 2015 Share #3174 Posted March 7, 2015 I've just taken delivery of a BP MP. It's new but old, one of the first run with a serial of 2880976 with the M6 ISO selector. Apparently it had been with a collector and had not been used at all. That looks to be the case on receipt of it. The lens is new old stock as well. I think they marry well together. I'll leave the 50 LA on the M3 and will probably sell my M6 Classic .85. Do I still need my 28 cron though... I'm not sure I could part with it. Very happy so far, even though it's been sitting for a while it's very smooth. Definitely as smooth as my M3 and M6 and I'd expect it to relax a bit more with use. The mount isn't as tight as my other Leicas though which is a very slight disappointment. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted March 7, 2015 Share #3175 Posted March 7, 2015 Do I still need my 28 cron though... I'm not sure I could part with it. The 28 Summicron is such a great lens on a film body – don't sell it just because you have a 35 Summilux. I find the focal lengths quite different and tend to use them for different objectives (excuse the pun) and would be very reluctant to part with either. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted March 26, 2015 Share #3177 Posted March 26, 2015 Adam and Steve will be disappointed but I finally bought a MP instead of M-A.Yes, as I am quite lazy (to think), , I prefer to have a measuring exposure .... I'll post you a picture soon ! I still have my 2 M7 but I'll give one to my son. I immediately mounted a 28 Cron asph and I've taken some b&w photos with Ilford HP5 Film is nor dead http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/other/286747-i-like-film-open-thread.html Best Henry 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookaphotoof Posted March 26, 2015 Share #3178 Posted March 26, 2015 Henry, you could have bought the M-A, to trade it with my MP, as I use it with the battery removed! Congratulations and have fun shooting with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroseven Posted March 27, 2015 Share #3179 Posted March 27, 2015 I've had my MP for 11 years and I loved owning it..... but hated using it. I bought it to take advantage of the Noctilux 'look' but even after having the body and lens calibrated by Leica found the whole rangefinder experience too antiquated. I was a focus puller for nearly 20 years and a have been a Director of Photography for 15 so not exactly a novice. I've this week put the MP on ebay and bought a Sony A7 Mk2. Wow. What a beautifully made camera. Every inch as well crafted as the MP and its usability has rekindled my interest in the Noctilux. The m adapter works well as does the Nikon adapter so I intend to also sell the D800E So MP, with regret, you're fired 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted March 28, 2015 Share #3180 Posted March 28, 2015 I was a focus puller for nearly 20 years and a have been a Director of Photography for 15 so not exactly a novice. I remember you from the forum's earlier days (is it Tony?). RF idiosyncrasies aside (a method of focussing that I like but can understand why it isn't universally popular), will you not miss using your Noctilux with classic film emulsions?
