around how much are used MPs going for these days? 

eBay has a few that are in the low $3000 range at the moment, but those will increase to high 3000s or low 4000s for the final price.  Varying based on condition of course and special edition types are more.

A quick search on the forum shows I'm not the only only one who has almost lost the unslotted battery cover from my MP, be warned!

As the MP is supplied with two covers, I now use the slotted cover and keep the plain one as a spare in my camera bag.

Thanks for mentioning this because I didn't know there was a difference.

Hmmmm. I’d forgotten about the slotted cover. I have no idea where mine is. Hopefully it’s still in the box, sitting packed away somewhere.....

The plain cover that I have always used since I bought the camera new in 2006 has loosened itself and fallen off twice recently.  Fortunately, I was at home both times and did not lose it. 

It seems other forum members have reported the same problem with the plain cover and I remembered the slotted cover that I packed away in the box 13 years ago!

Thanks for the warning!

If anything, mine is prone to seizing on tight. A real PITA to remove without a slot. I’ll be extra careful in future (until I locate the slotted cover, and install it!)

Cheers,

I was just thinking. After more than a decade of use, holidays, a 14 month cycling trip across Eurasia, through Mongolia, up to Everest base camp, weddings, the birth of my children, trips to the park with said children, Christmases, funerals, days out about town and everyday life at home, I still love my MP... Just sayin'

And so, I set it free from the leather jacket.

Best,
