1joel1 Posted December 6, 2022 Share #4761 Posted December 6, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) When you go to sell your new M6, you will find out that it is definitely not an MP. The resale market will always differentiate models and versions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of "Finding the answer to a question that no one ever asked". Leica first introduced a hot shoe in 1971 and now, 51 years later, people feel that a hot shoe cover is essential. It is a good thing that there so many gullible people about so that firms like Kanto can build up their profits. Obviously it is a very different matter with digital Ms as the hot shoe contains all these rather delicate EVF contacts. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetically, it looks more pleasing with it covered up. If I did not care for aesthetics, I would not be buying a black paint MP. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 2 of these , one in black paint and one in chrome and really like how they look on the camera. That's all really and I generally use a hotshot cover on my M10-D for the same reason. At USD20 something they didn't break the bank so not really a big deal either way For anyone wondering, these are a very snug/perfect fit and the paint on both matches the camera very well (the chrome being an exact match, and the BP being close enough) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted December 14, 2022 Share #4771 Posted December 14, 2022 I have a MP BP on order for delivery perhaps next month. While I sit here dreaming, can someone tell me what strap it comes with now? The 14312? A leather strap? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and forth on a possible strap but can't yet decide if I want a very short, wear it like a necklace strap or if I want something a bit more flexible and longer. I use a 26 inch strap. Makes my rig into neck candy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that was what I wondered. The 14312 is OK (I have spare one anyway), but a bit more width would be useful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly the MP strap is now very similar to the M10’s and M11’s, however, my new M6 has a different design in that it’s wider, has the Leica name and also the ring protectors are part of the strap design. I like it the best out of all the M straps past and current. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
