Did that claim come from digital camera users where many sensors have slight colour influences baked into their algorithms? Or from M8/M9 users where (especially the 8 ) where the sensor was susceptible to purple tones due to the cover glass? I don't know what kind of cameras they are using but i read this many times in this forum and also that the coating of the v2 makes such warm tones, so i decided to try&buy the second one.

BillyBarnack Posted May 23, 2023 Share #4942 Posted May 23, 2023 Will an M4 (or other) base plate fit on an MP, and enable the use of IXMOO cassettes with the MP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansvons Posted June 6, 2023 Share #4947 Posted June 6, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Voigtländer Color Skopar f2,5 35mm can be found used for under 400 EUR in mint/new condition. A little lens that works nicely on film and with flaws on digital but is sharp and ok to the edges on film. Great beginner's lens and/or a superb crash lens when things get rough, and a proper Summicron is too valuable for the mission. Own both, and the Color Skopar gets lots of use. Won't use it on digital, though, as it vignettes too much. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure for how much it is going these days, but a Leica Elmar-M 2.8/50mm (i.e., the latest version) is a terrific choice for an MP. Otherwise, maybe a Canon 1.4/50mm in LTM mount with M adapter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begin by thinking about which focal length you might prefer. With a budget of £400-600, your best bet would be to look at the Voigtlander range. Something like the 35mm f1.4 nokton ii would be within reach or save a bit more money for a 50mm f1.5 nokton ii. With either of those you’re getting close to Leica M image quality and in the case of the 35mm f1.4, some similar character to the summilux pre asph for a fraction of the cost of a Leica summilux in either focal length. A no- brainer given your budget, imo. Good luck with your new MP, you’ll love it! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the bottom plate will fit just like the m-motor fit the m4-p, m6, mp and m-a. I sold 2 m4 and my m4p after I got my 2 m-a so I can't validate but if I remember well, I had the same thing on my mind and, always if my memories are right I concluded the need to also interchange the body bottom plate, the one you take off to adjust the drum's tension. (with the diagram for the film parkour). I may be wrong and maybe just changing the bottom plate would be enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body shape of the cameras after the M6 is different and won't fit IXMOO cassettes: nothing to do with the baseplate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBabyEarl Posted June 10, 2023 Share #4953 Posted June 10, 2023 After years I finally got a .58 MP new from Japan. 2005 batch. Never had a chrome camera either.

A while ago I went to the Frankfurt shop and held in a similar MP with this leatherette, the salesperson said that early versions of the MP came with this leatherette and the newer versions has the M240/M-P240 leatherette. He further explained that according to him, this version with your leatherette will become a collectors piece, if that will be true I have no idea but just a fun fact Enjoy your beautiful MP Edited June 11, 2023 by Borna 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't like it at the beginning - it's just not nice to hold really, and IMO it doesn't look nice either. My view hasn't changed but while initially I was going to replace it w the much nicer newer types, I just can't be bothered as it is 'fine' and I have other Ms too. Plus that camera stays in a half case. A collector's item? I don't think so as Leica made them for many years. But a good way to close a sale!

Huss Posted June 17, 2023 Share #4960 Posted June 17, 2023 I have a bunch of half cases, including Leicatime/Luigi, Zhou, Art and Artisans, Leica and a $50 from ebay. My favourite, easily, is the $50 ebay one. It fits better than the Luigi, it is less bulky, it doesn't cover the rewind release, it doesn't have tabs that go over the strap eyelets. It's just a much sleeker design. It also has better, tighter stitching. The fact that it is at least 1/4 of the price of the Luigi is icing on the cake. Luigi is from the time when the M8 and M9 hit the markets, and basically no-one was making half cases. It still is from that era. Anyway - my MP with the $50 case, my M3 w the Luigi.
