Just seen that the two shiny parts are black on my M-A 😄 I know now why I prefer M-A over MP, I do have already the shiny part (shutter guard ring not black) on my BP M4, as said NOT a big deal, just kind of a "mistake".

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Interesting info , thanks. Yes I’m not disappointed in the slightest with the silver trims, I like it and had a silver lens on the camera yesterday which looked very nice. I imagine you would always need to have silver lugs so they might also look a bit lonely on their own if everything else was blacked out no doubt would look nice but can’t complain at all 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The 0.58 VF is really perfect for 35 and 28 focal lengths, not least because the 35mm framelines appear unaccompanied, like an M2. Wonderful. My silver chrome 0.58 MP was regular production when I bought it (new, and hugely discounted) many years ago. It’s very special. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted April 7, 2022 Share #4592 Posted April 7, 2022 Just a quick note that I'm a few rolls in with my MP, and "I love my MP" ! My other film M's are M6 TTL & M6J. I love the TTL. It's a tank (or feels like one due to the very marginal size difference), but amazing all-rounder as I do use the TTL flash . I love the M6J, it's slim (actually slimmer than the MP, and the same dimensions everywhere else) and seems more ergonomic, has more zip in the shutter button feel than the TTL (like driving an 60's Austin Martin versus the TTL's rangerover) So a very close race but most of all I think I love my MP .... has the slight ergonomic advantages of the M6J (over my TTL) , the viewfinder is just marginally more contrasty than both of my M6 variants , and the black paint just feels great ! I don't love the rewind crank, but have been using it in a reflective manner and reminiscing about how much I love my MP for the 5mins it takes me to rewind 😂😂 Happy customer just reporting ! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
