That's a roll a day basically. I'm pretty deliberate and methodical with my shooting so don't go through a lot of film. I have mostly Tmax 400 and a few rolls of Portra 800 and Tmax 3200 for some evening shooting. I'm also bringing a Sony A7R4 with a 28-200mm Tamron for video and M mount adapter so I can put my Summilux on the Sony if I want to shoot digital stills on a prime lens. I'm doing ethnographic/anthropological fieldwork so will mostly be doing video but want to do some artistic film photography of my research too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These cold shoe covers look super nice. They also cover that small hole on top that may allow dust to eventually make its way into the viewfinder. I have a few for my silver chrome cameras and the color match is spot on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted December 5, 2022 Share #4756 Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) vor 10 Stunden schrieb mr35mm: No Sir, it's a MP in the M6 Body Of course it’s a beautiful camera, still when it is named M6 and it looks like an M6 classic why would you want to call it an MP? I remember when the MP came in the market around 2000, when I bought my first one. Some repairmen at Leica Netherlands were talking to me: “they call it an MP but the inside is almost an exact M6! “ in that time the M6ttl was the last model and going back to the pre- M6ttl body , same messurements as the M6 classic which was on the market already for 20 years. of course the MP in years has develloped a little in viewfinder etc. so the MP = not M6ttl = not M6 classical ( because of some ,minor, developements) but just called an MP. the modern M6 has of course all the “good parts” of a modern MP , but still the MP still looks like an MP (like the old reporter camera’s before the M6 arrived) This new M6 doesn’t look like an MP on the outside, isn’t called an MP but an M6 so why would we say “ it’s an MP”…? Or as you say: “ it’s an M6 in a body of an MP ? No it is not. The body of an MP looks different. You might say, “ it has all the parts of a Modern MP inside” still it’s an M6 at the outside with the bodymeasurments and looks of an classic M6 . So maybe the M6 does belong in : I believe with cars, there is a similar question in semantics ? “ is it’s bmw or is it a landrover? would somebody say:” this is my landrover / bmw ?

Leica produce 3 film cameras at the moment, M-A, MP & M6. They all share the same basic body but are very different animals. It has always been this way, in 1955 we had the M1, M2, M3 and MP, all the same basic body but all very different. It would seem that a few people on this forum just like to try and make an irrelevant point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M2 had the internals of a M3, the M4 had the internals of the M2/M3 etc. And now we have the M6 with the internals of its predecessor. Hence my "yawn". Alongside that we have the statements reported from Leica itself that they have a new supply line for the M6 parts, which doesn't have to mean that the parts are radically or functionally different - although it sounds like the meter circuit board is different. Any new product from Leica is met by internet comments "of course it is just rebadged [Fuji/Panasonic/Leica M#/Sony]". It's part of the tradition. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
