NB23 Posted December 16, 2011 Share #2461 Posted December 16, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Don't get me wrong, the M7's auto mode is a joy to use and so so quick... But there's just something about the fully mechanical shutter I just can't put my finger on (no pun) it just makes you smile, guess that's why they call it MP.. The M7 is fully mechanical at 1/60 and 1/125. I could live with only those 2 speeds + a summilux and never miss a shot. There's nothing bad about shooting at f16 when the need arises. Bouquet is over rated anyways. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Hi NB23, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
honcho Posted December 18, 2011 Share #2462 Posted December 18, 2011 I wanted an MP. I bought one. M7 did not enter the debate with myself and never will. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aesop Posted December 19, 2011 Share #2464 Posted December 19, 2011 Don't get me wrong, the M7's auto mode is a joy to use and so so quick... But there's just something about the fully mechanical shutter I just can't put my finger on (no pun) it just makes you smile, guess that's why they call it MP.. ...I shoot strictly B&W on my MPs. A true understanding of my chosen film (HP5+) makes the M7's auto-mode utterly irrelevant to me. Nice camera, nonetheless. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted December 30, 2011 Share #2467 Posted December 30, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have finally acknowledged the inevitable - that I am not using my MP enough to warrant keeping it. There is an immaculate Silver MP now listed in the For Sale section of this Forum. Sad day. Cheers John Did you sell your MP already John? #2459 fits your description?

time Posted December 30, 2011 Share #2469 Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Just got a wide angle lens on lovely MP:) Nice for the MP to relaxe a little bit from the heavy chrome brass 50mm asph;) The 21mm is really light...

stereosaint Posted January 10, 2012 Share #2474 Posted January 10, 2012 so i was told to leave a pic here of my mp. of course, every mp deserves a black painted lens as it's mate for life. that's not to say a harem of black painted lenses would be wrong, but oh so hard to choose between.
