Every color just looks amazing on a silver chrome, but I love the camel look which resembles the Hermes MP. That’s a great idea! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Hi Leicasb314, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
malligator Posted February 6, 2022 Share #4522 Posted February 6, 2022 I ordered my MP about 10 days ago. I know I could have a long wait ahead of me. Out of curiosity I emailed Leica to ask when they thought they'd do another production run. I got the standard (non)answer. "Demand is high. Resources are low. We never really know." I know this post offers absolutely no new info but, hey, it helped me pass a minute or two waiting for my MP. lol 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven knows what that costs... https://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/M-System-Service/Redesign Why you can't just order one in black paint rather than going through the trouble of taking delivery and then immediately sending the camera back for a 'redesign' is beyond me.

Yellow_78 Posted February 11, 2022 Share #4525 Posted February 11, 2022 Has anyone got an MP with script engraving but left in black paint instead of the usual white? I wonder how that would look 😍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroboros Posted February 12, 2022 Share #4530 Posted February 12, 2022 I have a vague recollection of seeing images on here where someone had removed the white paint infill from their black M with a toothpick and acetone.

a.noctilux Posted March 5, 2022 Share #4535 Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) "Unfinished", as I've seen on some Leica lenses. Sometimes, ink-filled engravings, other times, no inked engravings, like my newest sh Apo-Summicron-M 90 with "LENS MADE IN GERMANY 11884" For MP Classic, no engraving at all at rear (from this site ... ) Welcome, dear visitor!

It looks like your serial starts with 30, I thought they only went up 29... Mine is is 2890 which I believe is 1st batch (or 2nd?). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
