The folks at my Leica store gifted me with a wooden Leica train whistle also, saying (in jest, of course) that this was reserved only for the film M buyer. SL2 and Q2 buyers are out of luck Can you look at the leather near the frame line preview lever? Is there any bubbling in it? It looks like new MP’s have some, including mine. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Hi advil, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Doc Henry Posted December 25, 2019 Share #4062 Posted December 25, 2019 No "lump" on my new MP purchased at Leica Store . Send back to Leica if you bought new ! Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianman Posted December 25, 2019 Share #4063 Posted December 25, 2019 I had similar "lumps" on my new MP bought nearly 2 years ago. It doesn't really bother me, not enough to be without it months. I don't like the covering anyway and I will get it changed one day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincoln_m Posted December 26, 2019 Share #4064 Posted December 26, 2019 Oh that’s not right. If that was a used MP and the last user had applied a new leatherette themselves Leaving it looking like that , you’d only buy it at a discount. But considering the price of a hand finished product in Germany the misfitting cover isn’t right. It’s as though a screw under the coating hasn’t been screwed down enough (cross threaded?). I’m guessing it’s not just an air bubble that could be deflated with a pin? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it to Leica today since I was dropping off my M7 to be sent out for repair. They made a note of it and let me keep it until I got my M7 back. They took a photo and have already asked New Jersey. I also linked them to the reddit thread with the other guy with the same problem so hopefully they'll investigate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
