BKimelb1 Posted November 25, 2019 Share #4046 Posted November 25, 2019 Your workspace is very neat and interesting. One small comment. I suggest you keep lens caps on your MP camera body and lenses. It would decrease dust, the chance of fingerprints and cleaning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

advil Posted December 15, 2019 Share #4049 Posted December 15, 2019 I recently got an MP and wondering if I can leave the shutter to the correct speed all the time. I know that the meter turns off after ~15 sec of pressing the shutter button but is it still drawing power? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't and use a camera bag, you will drain your battery on accident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the meter turns off after ~15 sec of pressing the shutter button but is it still drawing power? I will not drain power, when the shutter button is not touched. Unfortunately, when the MP is in a bag, the shutterbutton will be touched. So I put it to Bulk in the bag, but leave it on 60/125/250 when I put it on a shelf.

Photon42 Posted December 16, 2019 Share #4054 Posted December 16, 2019 That is why it is called B/Off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked the " too much info " B/off " so I think I blocked it out of my memory. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caloosajo Posted December 24, 2019 Share #4057 Posted December 24, 2019 Just joined the club with a fresh black paint MP! The folks at my Leica store gifted me with a wooden Leica train whistle also, saying (in jest, of course) that this was reserved only for the film M buyer. SL2 and Q2 buyers are out of luck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincoln_m Posted December 24, 2019 Share #4058 Posted December 24, 2019 If the shutter isn’t cocked (so you don’t accidentally take a photo of the inside of your bag) then the meter is off anyway, but turning the dial to B / Off guarantees the meter is totally off and not even taking a trickle charge. If you are leaving the camera unused for a month or more it’s best to take out the battery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood, or believed that sentence. I have been using Leica M6 -MP for a few decades now and never had issues with leave the battery in, for sometimes two years. Even when the battery was completely drained I never saw any problem. On the other hand, why should you not use a freshly new MP not for a month?
