I love my MP

Well other than the script on top, it looks (and probably acts) just lick my black M-A.

Yup, I'm sure it's identical, other than the text on the top plate and the BP finish (and matching lens). Nice set, though.

Don't usually care for off the truck skin colors but this one really works. A beaut.

If you wait about 80 years you might be lucky and have your black vulcanite fade to that nice colour.

Unfortunately, I had to send my M6J 50 elmar-m in for a CLA. One of the things I like about modern elmar-m is the short focus throw but the ring was just too stiff on the one I got. I'll have to use the black one until it comes back from CLA. I really wish there was a black version with a focus tab as it's a great fit on the MP for me.

Agree totally, the collapsible is an ideal mate for the MP.  I have a summicron 50 too but it stays on the electric M10!   The MP with the elmar-M is really pocketable…. A pleasant change as I’ve been shooting my Brick-esque Mamiya C330 TLR this week!

Absolutely johntobias, there's a reason the 50 elmar-m and MP combination shows up a ton in this thread. The collapsible summicron is obviously no slouch either...

Leica please modernize and re-release this lens 🙏.

Enjoy your break from the Mamiya :)

It's interesting how much many of us appreciate the focus tab.  I traded a v5 50 Cron for a Canadian v4 just for the tab.  

BTW, great looking MP.

Well it arrived today and it may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Many congratulations, but really. What about a MA without the battery cover?😉

Seriously, it looks fantastic!  Again, congratulations and enjoy!

Yeah, the battery cover is my least favorite feature, but I'm able to overlook it due to it being eclipsed by that gorgeous black paint finish :)
