Advertisement Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hi R2-D2, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rolo Posted September 19, 2008 Share #702 Posted September 19, 2008 What can I say - it's a kick ass camera and I feel I've come home. Never been so happy. My newest addition (from yesterday) is a Elmar-M I bought on eBay. A fantastic lens with an unique fingerprint. Lovely. And a perfect addition to my MP. Nice to see your MP One Pic and great that you are enjoying it. Didn't sell the M8 after all ? What's happened to the Hass ? How would you describe the finger print of the little Elmar then ? (anyone ?) Always seems to get by-passed on the way to the Lux Asph, which i not you also stock. Has the change of skin made a difference? I've noticed the many threads on the subject, but never considered changing. I would like a more classic leather feel, soft and warm to the touch.

JBA Posted September 20, 2008 Share #705 Posted September 20, 2008 Good thing I didn't get it to please you, Martin. I have an almost irrational dislike of chrome cameras but don't mind chrome lenses, strangely enough. Besides, this one was so cheap because of the two gouges on the hood that I couldn't pass it up just because it was chrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted September 20, 2008 Share #706 Posted September 20, 2008 I don't like silver lenses on black bodys, sorry Martin, I dislike very much those black lenses that have the black finish worn through. Very unsightly. Not only do the look poor, but their value is eroded as well as their surface. Silver lenses are much preferred, (by me) regardless of body colour. My favourite is black paint by the way, followed by silver. I'd also like silver coated aluminium lens casing. Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richie Posted September 20, 2008 Share #708 Posted September 20, 2008 I don't actually have a Leica MP, but after seeing all these pictures of MPs.....Nah! I will keep my trusty 10 year old Leica M6 TTL and keep shooting until the camera falls apart! :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacarape Posted September 20, 2008 Share #709 Posted September 20, 2008 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. QUOTE] Er, that break looks like a classic fist meets wall photo (?). Nice looking camera, I agree with the posters that say their camera goes everywhere with them. I took mine all over New Mexico when I took my dogs n a 7 month vacation in their shiny 25' dog house (an Airstream Travel Trailer). Yesterday I spent a few hours on the back of an Okada (a motorcycle taxi racing in the middle of caos) taking photos from the back of Lagos, Nigeria. We're all covered in dust, the bp MP and a 35 Lux. OT, I asked my friends here if they get spam mail from Nigeria, they laughed and said they suffer that also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Pic A Day Posted September 21, 2008 Share #714 Posted September 21, 2008 Nice to see your MP One Pic and great that you are enjoying it. Didn't sell the M8 after all ? What's happened to the Hass ? How would you describe the finger print of the little Elmar then ? (anyone ?) Always seems to get by-passed on the way to the Lux Asph, which i note you also stock.

Rolo Hey Rolo. thanks for your comment. To answer your questions: I still have the M8. But I rarely use it. The Hassi I sold with a profit. I like the MP better. RE the Elmar. Absolutely stunning. Wonderful bokeh, soft OOF, very harmonious, sharp, beautiful overall reendition, and really cool. The Tessar is a great design. I totally love the lens. I believe it is a must have. It is what Leica is all about, and a great addition to my 35 cron IV. The skin has made a big difference. The camera feels much better now, and it also looks the way it should. The other skin is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
