colonel Posted October 6, 2022 Share #4647 Posted October 6, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm back ... after a few years away from film The prices! When I last bought an M6 it was £850, now they are £2-3k. What happened ! Now I feel stupid for selling them. Anyway at that price there is no point buying an M6 anymore, might as well get the MP. Too many advantages to mention - although one I will mention is the smoother speed dial, all my M6 were really notchy. It's a beauty. The problem is not to stare at it but to take pictures Welcome, dear visitor!

The M6 seems to have doubled in price every 4-5 years. Now the old screw 35mm Elmar and Summaron lenses seem to have doubled in the last 18 months ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That silver chrome finish looks wonderful. I have decided to buy myself an MP for my 60th birthday next month, but am having a struggle deciding between the two finishes! I have a chrome M2 and a black chrome M10. What to do...! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a Chrome MP in 2021. My Leica dealership only got a Black Paint in and offered it to me. I have never been happier. Get the BP. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted October 7, 2022 Share #4654 Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) For me, as well as the the silver looking more beautiful (its just a camera man, get a grip 😀 ) the silver can go with black and silver lenses, but the black only goes with black lenses, so more choice. I particularly like the Voigtlander mixed metals. Just bought the 28mm f2 ultron type 1. Looking fwd to see what is looks like on the camera Welcome, dear visitor!

Huss Posted October 7, 2022 Share #4655 Posted October 7, 2022 I have a BP MP .58, just because that is the finish that was available at that time. But the silver is gorgeous too, and when I look at my M3 in it’s standard silver chrome, there is just something so classic and elegant about the look. The original intention of black cameras was for photo journalism/news reportage to make them more discrete. I have changed the skin on my M3 to a blue leather because the old vulcanite crumbled, and if you are into that sort of thing a silver body goes really well with so many different colours, while IMO a black body only looks good with black leather. So when I look at a silver MP I just think that would look great with an olive green skin, or a Hermes medium brown, or… 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason we like nice kit, and not a beaten up Canon T60, is because sometimes the journey is as enjoyable as the destination 😉 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
