Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Beautiful! What is the à la carte customisation? I was fortunate enough to get a 0.58 MP when a different magnification was available in standard production. It is a very special camera to me. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 Hi Mute-on, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
egrossman Posted August 14, 2021 Share #4482 Posted August 14, 2021 I bought this camera gently used with only brassing on the film advance lever a few years ago. This camera was made around 2017 which means it would have come with the shark skin leatherette. This customized model is covered in very soft embossed real leather. It's lovely.

CosmoM3 Posted October 6, 2021 Share #4484 Posted October 6, 2021 I just picked up my second Black Paint MP (sold my first one to a friend) second hand (absolutely mint) with the serial: 2941281 - it feels good to be back. It's bittersweet though because I sold my Leica M4 to fund this purchase. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MP has spent a lot of time in a backpack on day walks (as it did so again today) and multi-day trail walks and wild camping trips during the past 15 years since I bought it. The rangefinder alignment is fine. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rangefinder alignment is fine. Yes, I also have mainly used my Ms in a backpack. For example the M240 was carried around the Alps over multiple years, with no probs at all with rangefinder alignment. I’ve kept it well protected though, normally in a Billingham for M bag placed into the backpack. Getting to these mountains in a plane with turbulence, or the vibrations from a car journey, make me feel relatively more concerned about rangefinder alignment than the hiking ! 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Dave, good news. There is a cure. However, before you can access it you will need to procure at least another two Leica film bodies. Obviously these will be an M2 and an M3 since they share design and functionality attributes with the MP. Good luck. Keep us updated on your progress. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayD28 Posted November 12, 2021 Share #4499 Posted November 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Sailronin said: My name is Dave, and I'm a Leica addict. Is there a cure? There is a 12-step program called Leitz-Annon and regular meeting attendance may work. "Hi, I'm Dave and I'm a Leicaholic." Most attendees are in bankruptcy or forced to attend as a last demand during marriage counseling. Recidivism rate is extremely high. The most successful group of addicts that deal with their addiction are married and have their paychecks and all other cash payments directly deposited into a spouse's bank account. They also cancel all credit cards and then have the spouse create a credit monitoring account for the addict. (Of course the addict does not have the password to the account and the password recovery processes sends the spouse the email to reset the password.) The spouse then turns on the Block All Credit Application feature and receives text notifications when there is any activity. While giving up control of legally obtained cash and access to credit is helpful, there is a blackmarket on the Dark Web where Leica equipment is exchanged for untraceable personal property like family heirlooms and stolen property. Many professionals agree it is better to treat the symptoms than the disease. Treatments generally target cash flow and addicts are encouraged to get a second job. Owning one MP or owning more than two lenses with the same focal length generally indicates severe addiction and a third job may be needed. Cutting expenses are an option, but addicts are warned that reducing expenses can actually increase the severity of symptoms. Reducing food cost too much can result in criminal child endangerment charges. Sorry this message is not encouraging but know that you are not alone. Many of us fight the same demon, each in our own way. To paraphrase a friend, one Leica is too many, and a thousand Leicas is never enough. All in jest. Great looking setup. Do you use the DR on the MP? PS - I hope I'm not belittling any 12-step program or anyone that uses one. I have friends and family that use these programs and in several cases the programs saved their lives. 2 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
