RITskellar Posted November 27, 2014 Share #3144 Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Why four cameras? Are you afraid of getting dust on your sensor whenever you switch a lens?:D If I want to use film, I have the two MPs, which I've had for many years. And the M9-Ps if I shoot digital, which are a fairly recent move for me. Edited November 27, 2014 by RITskellar 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenInTime Posted November 27, 2014 Share #3145 Posted November 27, 2014 If I want to use film, I have the two MPs, which I've had for many years. And the M9-Ps if I shoot digital, which are a fairly recent move for me. My way of working as well. With film I used two M6s for many years - transitioning to digital I found using a single M9 was less effective so I eventually bit the bullet and bought a second M9.

fabio_rf Posted December 1, 2014 Share #3146 Posted December 1, 2014 I've been lurking on this thread for some time, now it's my turn to share a picture of my brand new MP Black Lacquer. Shot the first roll yesterday and loved it, of course. Welcome, dear visitor!

PATB Posted December 1, 2014 Share #3147 Posted December 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here's an iphone pic of my MP. Time surely flies -- I can't believe it was February 2007 (post #137) when I first posted on this thread. Only difference is the updated sensor: Kodak Portra 400 instead of Kodak Ultracolor Welcome, dear visitor!

jmr237 Posted December 20, 2014 Share #3151 Posted December 20, 2014 brand new leica mp a la carte! Very nice! What covering option is that? It looks like the same covering as the new M-A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moisesribeiro Posted December 20, 2014 Share #3152 Posted December 20, 2014 Very nice! What covering option is that? It looks like the same covering as the new M-A. thanks! it's vulkanit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2014 Share #3153 Posted December 21, 2014 thanks! it's vulkanit. Must now be the new standard for vulcanite, as Leica had announced a few years ago that they would stop using the old type. Leica M cameras: change from vulcanite to leatherette cladding | Leica News & Rumors I personally like the new type, it's more grippy. Beautiful MP by the way!

mdwsta4 Posted December 22, 2014 Share #3154 Posted December 22, 2014 It's aki asahi 4008. Wish they still offered 4034, but this is the next best thing. Offers a bit more grip than the original covering. What covering do you have on the MP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 23, 2014 Share #3157 Posted December 23, 2014 It's aki asahi 4008. Wish they still offered 4034, but this is the next best thing. Offers a bit more grip than the original covering. In early 2014 I had an M7 covered in Aki-Asahi's 4008 leatherette. Roughly around the same time I happened to have an M9 in Leica's new standard vulcanite leatherette. I say: The leatherette in post #3138 by moisesribeiro is covered in Leica's new vulcanite, not Aki-Asahi's 4008 leatherette. Why? Because the texture is similar to Aki-Asahi's vulcanite, but Leica's new vulcanite is more "vulcanite without the pointy mountain peaks". Leica's new vulcanite can "wear and tear" without any visual cue to it's use, whilst the Leica vulcanite used in the period of 2003-2012 would show plastic wear within a few months' hard use. I think compared to the original Leica vulcanite (that needed to be baked), the new Leica vulcanite is pretty damn close to the original feel and visual finish. Leica is on the right path to a non-baking replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr237 Posted December 23, 2014 Share #3158 Posted December 23, 2014 I say: The leatherette in post #3138 by moisesribeiro is covered in Leica's new vulcanite, not Aki-Asahi's 4008 leatherette. As support for this point, the covering in post #3138 looks quite similar to the covering on the new M-A. Given the M-A's design cues to the M3, it would make sense that Leica would cover it in their current interpretation of the classic vulcanite.

NB23 Posted December 23, 2014 Share #3159 Posted December 23, 2014 Sadly, nothing will ever replace the original baked vulcanite. Vulcanite is just amazing: sticky and dry in the cold, grippy and smooth in the summer. Just amazing. All these new coverigs are not Leica's manufacturing. They get it from an external company. It has nothing to do about getting as close as possible to the original. It's more of a fashion statement as well as an economical choice. They simply stopped to use the 4040 pebble-like covering because it got out of production. As simple as that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
