That paint is fresh! @wattsy @28framelines I really lucked out with this one. Bought it from a guy who shot like 3 rolls with it then put it back in the box and didn’t touch it for 20 years. Needed a CLA but was basically blemish-free with no brassing. Proud to say I’ve been using the hell out of it and the brassing’s all mine. Won’t ever be going back in it’s box. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the paint on the wind lever seems mostly intact (I think I can see a tiny bit of brassing in the knurled tip). Yeah, my wind lever started to brass after two months or less. Not much the rest of the body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My silver chrome one is about 180 serial numbers earlier and has the MP dial. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My silver chrome one is about 180 serial numbers earlier and has the MP dial. Thank you and yup good catch! Things were funky at Leica with the first couple batches of the MP as they were still using up old M6 parts. I like the M6 ISO dial so I’m glad I have it. I’ve just heard wishy-washy information about servicing the light meter if I have troubles since the whole metering system is different from the newer MP metering system. But it makes mine kinda like a MP-6 which is cool, just with sharkskin and not leatherette. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rewind knob is just now starting to show a tiny bit of brassing. I think I’ve ran like a little over 50 rolls through the camera since I’ve got it. Natural brassing (not that sandpaper wildness) definitely does take time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj3209 Posted February 4, 2023 Share #4847 Posted February 4, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I sorta wish the shutter speed dial was larger, like my M7 or the M6 TTL. Looks nicer and more functional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I’ve probably put 100 rolls through mine already and I still see no brassing on the rewind knob. It’s weird, I expected it to be the first thing to go. Maybe I just have soft hands 😂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s super slight, and only around the very top edge of the knurling Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroboros Posted February 5, 2023 Share #4853 Posted February 5, 2023 Thanks. I like summicrons and bought the 28mm as an upgrade to my long used v1 28mm summicron asph, mainly for the sliding hood which I think is much better than the ridiculous plastic wheelie-bin sized hood on the v1. I liked the olive green with black paint mismatch so much, also on my M10-R, I added the 50mm & 90mm! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ymc226 Posted February 6, 2023 Share #4855 Posted February 6, 2023 After making the mistake of selling 2 BP MPs since I believed I was done with film, 2 new MPs showed up. A silver one about a month ago for color and another BP which arrived today for B&W. These newer versions thankfully don’t have the sharkskin like textured covering. Film developed from the silver show no evidence of scratching film. Running a roll of exposed film just now through the BP also confirms no scratching. 😀 Welcome, dear visitor!

Reminds me of not only classic Leica Ms but also a Canon RF which my father let me have when I was very young. I actually have a 3rd MP still unopened and also in silver to give to my daughter when she completes her photography degree in a few years. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
