RayD28 Posted March 22, 2021 Share #4346 Posted March 22, 2021 Sweet looking setup. Is the new cover grippy? It took me a bit to get used to the sharkskin. Would much prefer something like my M3 cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsetiono01 Posted March 24, 2021 Share #4351 Posted March 24, 2021 It's true, the 2021 release version (mine's 5613XXX Production Date 2021-March!) has a different skin (and box packaging that matches the recent Digital M bodies+new strap).

johntobias Posted March 24, 2021 Share #4352 Posted March 24, 2021 Mine still had the old style nylon strap and the box was slim , no drawer and no free film 😥 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted March 24, 2021 Share #4353 Posted March 24, 2021 March 2021 MP just turn 18 ! The first and only M camera that can vote during its production years ! It is the longest production run for an M camera. Hooray ! Long live to MP The Ms passed (M7, M8, M9, M, M10) but the MP stayed. And now it finally got a gorgeous leatherette instead of ugly shark skin. And a new leather strap. What a nice upgrade for entering adulthood. I think that I will placed an order. M10-R or M10 Monochrom prices reach a stupidly high price. Used Ms are so expensive nowadays. I can not resolve myself to buy again an M6 at 2000€ when I sold mine years ago at 1000€. Brand new MP at 4500€ seems quite reasonable. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntobias Posted March 24, 2021 Share #4354 Posted March 24, 2021 Mine must have been a transition. Oct 20 , nice new leatherette but still old nylon strap and small box ( silk lined ) with no film. love it to bits ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted March 24, 2021 Share #4355 Posted March 24, 2021 New box and new strap only since early 2021. But new leatherette since 2020, maybe earlier not sure about that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
comte de Mazan Posted March 25, 2021 Share #4356 Posted March 25, 2021 My MP with Elmar 2,8/50. Leica, transparency. You do not hold the device in your hand, it is in a way its emanation, a bridge between the eye and it. It would almost be like putting your hand to your eye to frame it, nothing more. The eye and the body, the step of the gaze, everything is there. Welcome, dear visitor!

predicolous Posted March 29, 2021 Share #4360 Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) picked up my 5613xxx Black Paint Leica MP beginning of march 2021. Produced and shipped in February 2021. I can both confirm the new box (similiar to the new digital Ms), no film, nice leather strap, leatherette as mentioned by dsetiono01 and the ISO dial made in a combination of metal and plastic as posted by cornedeweert.nl on his chrome MP. To my appearance the inner ring and "casing" of the ISO dial is hard plastic whereas the dial / ring itself seems to be metal. interestingly my MP already lost the white paint of the Leica's i-dot engraving on the top plate (photos confirm it was there when I unpacked it) Can someone please confirm the shutter sounds my MP is making? Starting from the 1/30th I hear a sound which my M6 classic (1987) did not make. I uploaded some videos here: at 1/60th everything sounds as it did with the M6 classic:https://youtube.com/shorts/CFn4EtCEg6A at 1/30th the MP adds a little "ssssrsssr" after the shutter:https://youtube.com/shorts/i3mTbTWhQ9A and starting at 1/8th I can hear a sound similiar to a selftimer?https://youtube.com/shorts/4ROnoVPuhbQ I guess it's alright as the older M2 shutter seems to make similar sounds but would be happy if someone could confirm. Shutter speeds are accurate (+- 1/3 stop) when checked with the photoblug (which shurely is no real shutter check machine) thank you guys!
