Is the right one an MP3 LHSA?

 

 

MP, 35 Summilux

MP3, 50 Summilux, Leicavit

It has the old style film counter beneath the advance lever, so it does look like the LHSA

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Yes it is.

It is indeed, nice to see another one being used.

FWIW, my local dealer today told me that MPs are now made to order instead of in batches.

MPs have always appealed to me if it weren't for that small shutter dial.

 

I guess that can't be changed, can it?

Has anyone recently received their brand new MP, and if so, how long did it take to arrive from the date it was ordered? Nearly 8 weeks later my MP still hasn't arrived, though I have thankfully borrowed an M6 ttl

See post #2704 - just over nine weeks. Patience, dear boy, patience!

Mine took about three months.

Thanks, Keith. I saw the post you mentioned, but I thought a la carte MPs were delivered to a different timescale to the standard one I have ordered(?)

MPs and M7s are made in batches. If you are lucky and get into the end of one batch delivery can by quite quick. If you're not so lucky you might have to wait until the next batch is built. That's regardless of alc. Leica don't hold stock any more.

3 months??!! Youre kidding me, right?!

[andybarton]

Mine took about 6 weeks from memory. 3 months isn't unusual if you hit the batches at the wrong time.

 

Your dealer should be able to let you know when yours is likely to be made. Mine did. Mine actually came quicker than I was advised. I was told to expect 2-3 months.

Oh, for a black paint MP....

[andybarton]

Mine has just started to brass after about 15 months of use

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[andyedward]

MPs and M7s are made in batches. If you are lucky and get into the end of one batch delivery can by quite quick. If you're not so lucky you might have to wait until the next batch is built. That's regardless of alc. Leica don't hold stock any more.

 

Andy, I recall you also mentioned in a previous post that MPs are made in batches, and I was certain of this until last week when a member of Stephens staff said they are made to order, though batch production seems more plausible to me.

 

My MP will arrive when it arrives, I guess.
