DirkR440 Posted February 28, 2016 Share #3341 Posted February 28, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is my setup with the SF58 flash: Leica MP by Dirk Raffel, auf Flickr I am using a Hama flash bracket and a Nikon SC-17 cable for the connection. And... even with this setup it is still possible to change film! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Hi DirkR440, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael Geschlecht Posted February 29, 2016 Share #3342 Posted February 29, 2016 Hello Everybody, Actually, Leicas are/were built both for "photographers" & "fondlers". That is part of the reason that they have been successful. Best Regards, Michael 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted March 2, 2016 Share #3344 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) All comes down to personal preference and not really relevant to anyone else. I don't like cases but I always use a grip with my MP. Other users don't like grips, I don't like soft releases. I prefer black lacquer to chrome and always use lenshoods. I prefer the .72 finder, others prefer another option. None of it matters. These cameras are meant to be used by photographers, not fondlers. I agree just a grip and quick changing film roll for street P it's faster . Left M7-35 LA Right MP -28 Summicron Asph both with Leica grip Welcome, dear visitor!

AgCl Posted March 15, 2016 Share #3349 Posted March 15, 2016 NB23 - could you post another picture showing your "blacked out" MP topplate? Did you remove the paint with a wooden toothpick? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted March 16, 2016 Share #3350 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) NB23 - could you post another picture showing your "blacked out" MP topplate? Did you remove the paint with a wooden toothpick? Yes, toothpicks. The "L" partially came out so I decided to proceed and erase the whole thing. Here are old pics Edited March 16, 2016 by NB23 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted March 16, 2016 Share #3351 Posted March 16, 2016 NB23 - could you post another picture showing your "blacked out" MP topplate? Did you remove the paint with a wooden toothpick? I'm not NB23 but all you need is some acetone, nail-polish remover or get a big can from a hardware store. Rub it in and the filler paint disappears. No worry - you can restore it using a lacquer stick later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted March 16, 2016 Share #3353 Posted March 16, 2016 That would rub off the Black paint also... No, sir, it does not. Believe me. I have done it often over the many years. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted March 16, 2016 Share #3354 Posted March 16, 2016 No, sir, it does not. Believe me. I have done it often over the many years. . I was curious as I know you've had BP cameras... so I'll try it with the "made in Germany". I couldn't erase all the letters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted March 16, 2016 Share #3355 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Hello Everybody, Why not simply use a permanent black magic marker with a thin (1 millimeter) point? It covers easily & quickly. Best Regards, Michael Edited March 16, 2016 by Michael Geschlecht Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2016 Share #3356 Posted March 16, 2016 Because that's going to look absolutely terrible. Remove the paint, cover it with tape or don't bother at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted March 17, 2016 Share #3357 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Hello David, Welcome to the Forum. Well, actually, I did what I suggested a number of years ago and up until now nobody has noticed that I have done this. Please keep in mind: I suggested a very thin point only wide enough to cover the material filling the engraving. Nothing wider. Best Regards, Michael Edited March 17, 2016 by Michael Geschlecht Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, Michael Yes but it doesn't quite cover it and the black ink quickly becomes reddish and it ends up looking terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted March 17, 2016 Share #3359 Posted March 17, 2016 Hello NB23, I am sorry to hear about your lack of success. None of what you have mentioned has happened with me. Even if something like what you mentioned happened after a few years (Which it did NOT.) it would be simple to re-do the overlay in a few minutes. Perhaps if you have had such bad luck with your permanent black magic markers you might experiment to find one with a greater degree of permanance. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, why go half-ass when I can go full-ass by removing the white stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
