It only seems to have been an issue on the latest batch of MPs. Gluing seems to be a lost art. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted March 26, 2020 Share #4103 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) In the bad old days when car manufacture was quite shoddy, with some car brands worse than others, it was often said that the crappy shut lines of doors to wing panels was the worse advert a manufacturer could make. If the manufacturer couldn’t be bothered with the external appearance, what did it say about the parts you couldn’t see, eg the engine and running gear. Car manufacturers learnt the lesson.

wattsy Posted March 28, 2020 Share #4108 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) With the world screeching to an almighty halt, I would have thought that returning a film camera to Leica is simply a way of saying goodbye to it until 2021. Even when they are fully up and running (i.e. when their single film repair guy is not on holiday), you have to wait 2-3 months for anything to be retuned. As the saying goes, an MP with minor cosmetic issues in the hand is worth two MPs without in the bush.

Yes I understand in your case in this time. I bought my last MP years ago, but would , in that time , send it back immediately. But the times... they are a changing.

I was at first doubting why I am spending so much on a camera but now I think it was totally worth, I just want to use it all the time. It was manufactured January 2020, I got it from Wetzlar Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can a guy get this grip? I bought it at the same time I bought my MP new in 2006 after seeing them on Ebay. I got it originally because I used an f1 Noctilux on my MP for a few years and the grip made it much easier to hold the MP stable whilst shooting with the Noctilux. The Noctilux is long gone (I never liked it) but the grip is nice to use and aesthetically far better than the horrible Leica plastic grip M. It came from China and cost £95 including vat and import duty. I do know they became much more expensive but I'm not sure if you can still find them for sale. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
