The only thing that is black is the ISO dial, but nothing we can do about that : p Could I ask how much did you pay for the re-skin man? Look amazing!

Look amazing! thank you! before doing it I was afraid it wouldn't look very good but I am really happy with the result. As for cost, you can check all the different leather prices on arte di mano website. Then you'll need a place in your home country who can do the reskin for you and that cost depends on the shop.

MCF74 Posted June 25, 2020 Share #4143 Posted June 25, 2020 My day old (to me) MP, with several thumbprints for highlight! The serial number dates this camera to 2003 (number 2941 xxxx) and it's in impeccable condition. What I'm curious about is: Was it typical to release 0.85 viewfinder editions AND vulcanite covering as a regular release in the series? Or could this have been an a la carte order?

It very well could have been an a la carte from day 1 but the prior owner over 17 years very well could have gotten the finder updated to .85 and while that was being done paid for the vulcanite. Either way, it is now an "a la carte." They did not manufacture the MP in this configuration in standard production. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCF74 Posted June 29, 2020 Share #4145 Posted June 29, 2020 Ah okay. I get the impression it was likely original order and I don’t think the previous owner had barely used it over 17 yrs! Lucky me! Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My leica MP's serial number is 2921516 but the card shows date 08/01/2009 of 5-years guarantee expiration, mean it was produce in 2004. I dont know why your camera have number 2941xxx is made from 2003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think there is a very high chance this was an a la carte, since it would be horrendously expensive to make the changes at a later service. Nice camera! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice camera! Not so via Sherry Krauter, Don Goldberg, or others. Even repairs/upgrades via Leica haven't been as bad as one would expect.

That is correct In some cases Leica would announce serial numbers, but reserve certain batches for a special purpose (perhaps a special edition they were planning). The result was a delayed production from the other numbers in the sequence. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted July 29, 2020 Share #4152 Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) I have rediscovered my MP, after not having shot film for a while. It will replace my digital Ms. Film is film and the SL2 is so good in reproducing slides and negatives, so that I again enjoy the beauty of film photography MP with Summicron 50, T-Max 400, taken in 2010.

Do you mean actual copying slides and in what way do you work? Well, I am not producing slides. I use the Sl2 for digitalising slides and negatives. I simply photograph the slides or negatives using a Kaiser FilmCopy vario kit and a copy stand. As a lens, I use the Sigma 70 L macro lens for that purpose. Processing is done in Lightroom using the Negative Lab Pro plug in. The multishot mode of the SL2 produces quite decent results. 47 megapixels are already way enough resolution. 24 of the SL are fine, too.

stewartweir Posted August 3, 2020 Share #4159 Posted August 3, 2020 I'm thinking about buying a new silver MP. Ive seen reports of poor quality M-A bodies and wondering if the MP has the same issues with quality control? As far as Im aware they not only have 2 people making film cameras and so not many are produced meaning if a copy isn't good it can be a while before it gets replaced. Anyone had recent issues in the last few years? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_MP Posted August 4, 2020 Share #4160 Posted August 4, 2020 Hi all, not entirely sure whether this is the right place to post and ask this question but I recently acquired a new MP (it’s beautiful!) but I have a question to ask regarding it’s design. As illustrated online on the Leica website, the ISO dial is that similar to the M6 etc, however as I have seen on this forum and my very own MP, the iso dial only has the ISO numbers running up and along half the dial... is this dial I have an outdated design or is the dial shown online not updated to this current/new half dial design? Any information anyone can shed and clarify this for me would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
