Because it is brand new  Thanks man!

Did you ask for that special covering?

[a.noctilux]

I've never seen on MP this M6 style leatherette.

Special order or just the standard new cover for MP ?

[wattsy]

It's an à la carte MP (ordered by the dealer prior to the cessation of the programme) apparently. You need to be paying more attention in this subforum.😀

It's an a la carte version of customized MP. custom options are No engraving on top, M7 leatherette and Full black baseplate.

I see they are offering a new simpler à la carte program (individualisation) now but only for covering colour - all ugly as hell - and engraving. 200 euros each.

PS: I can offer a unique engraving service with a chisel for a few quid a pop... mostly abstract artwork.

Probably not just any old gin but some artisan distilled bollocks sold from a specialist shop in Shoreditch.

[ianman]

Could that be why most of them seem to be ginger?

With my M2 just to keep things alive. 😉

Mid-Feb I received My BP MP (It was a dream Camera to me) 😄

Unfortunately, it has 2 or 3 lumps 😅. Leica Dubai told me I can return it!!! I won't I'm so excited to finally own a brand new MP. However, I'm surprised by Leica QC for the MP though.

I loaded with expired Agfa CT Precisa and developed the film. Thankfully, the Film came out perfect even the shot taken with the MP's Meter.

Thought I'd add mine to this thread too.  MP a la cart with grey leather and 35-50-90 frame lines.

I don't understand two or three lumps.  Please explain.

.72 viewfinder?  Grey looks nice.

Yeah, .72.  Part of me kind of wishes it was .85+ since I only shoot 50mm. I might experiment one of these days with a 35mm, but that seems like a really radical idea.

Bubbles, or air bubbles underneath the leatherette

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[sfbroome]

I just received my new MP last week and it also has air bubbles next to the frame line selector and the battery cover.
