So, I've been waiting a couple months, and my brand new a la carte MP and black paint Summilux 50 (pre-asph) have finally just arrived. The unfortunate thing is, only a few days ago, I broke my hand during a fall. My shooting hand, of course, is now in a cast with two long pins through the bones. Now I'll have to wait another month or so to load it with film and try. In the mean time, I'll keep it boxed up, and do my best to afford to be able to keep it. Bummer. ;)

Sorry to hear about the injury but the MP certainly looks good! :D Is the extent of the "a la cart-ness" the top engraving and the vulcanit?

 

Thanks. And yea, basically. Full classic engraving, vulkanit covering, black retaining ring, and standard .72 vf and frame lines.

 

Cheers, Andy

Thanks AB

 

I have now had the MP for four weeks and one day. I am part way through my 11th roll of film. My love for the MP continues to grow :) I have even started developing my own film at home. Very satisfying.

 

Also happy that the thread has been revived.

... I was laughing out loud when I saw the picture of your equipment, because I nearly use the same stuff on the road!!! :)

So I took a photo of my bag and it's tools... (Instead of the model "Evans Walker" I#m using The "Image Smith").

Our favorite camera (and thread) have now begun a life of their own on Wikipedia:

 

Leica MP

 

 

:)

 

Thanks

Cool..., and stealthy. ;)

 

I have an MP, a M6TTL, and a IIIf RD. If I had to just keep one, there's no question it would be the MP.

9 days and no new MP pics?! ;) Here's a bump and my trio of black MPs. After just putting my silver MP a-la-carte up for sale to help balance the check book and priorities, this is the entirety of my kit (along with the IIIb my dad gave me many years ago).

A very bad photo of a very good camera.

I seem to have two regular bags. The 'Walker Evans' is now relegated to dry(ish) weather - cannot get it waterproofed 100%. For English summers (;) ) I use the Snowbee, totally waterproof. Both bags allow me to carry the MP & D2 together - if necessary.
