goldchen96 Posted February 28, 2009 Share #929 Posted February 28, 2009 Jipeeeeeehh.... Longing for so long, my trusty M6 has a worthy companion now! I always wanted a chrome MP but found this mint one, only three months old at a VERY reasonable price (more than 1000 GBP less than new). What a nice camera! My M6 feels somewhat smoother in operation, but, of course, the MP has to get used to being used... Just bought 50 rolls of APX 400 and off we go! Welcome, dear visitor!

Finnkare Posted March 1, 2009 Share #932 Posted March 1, 2009 What lens is that you have on your MP? I'd guess the LTM Canon 50/1.2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneth Posted March 1, 2009 Share #933 Posted March 1, 2009 she's treated me well. i, on the other hand, haven't treated her that well ... but she works every time i ask her to! I once knew somebody that did that to a Black Nikon F3 believing it looked like a well used pro camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneth Posted March 1, 2009 Share #934 Posted March 1, 2009 This is absolutely beautiful. Brassing adds something so alluring to the camera. The aging of a black paint leica perfectly describes the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Your are lucky to own this piece, and If you "earned" the wearing yourself, all the better. As soon as I can afford it, I'm changing my M6 for an MP. No amount of work in the war zone could have created that effect. What sad abuse of a camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share #935 Posted March 1, 2009 I'd guess the LTM Canon 50/1.2. I thought it was a Canon but hadn't the confidence to blurt it out Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldchen96 Posted March 1, 2009 Share #936 Posted March 1, 2009 Congratulations! Welcome to the club What lens is that you have on your MP? It is the 1,2 50mm Canon LTM, indeed.

thrid Posted March 2, 2009 Share #939 Posted March 2, 2009 No amount of work in the war zone could have created that effect. What sad abuse of a camera It's hardly abused. That's what a black paint camera looks like rather quickly, when it is used on a daily basis for many years. Elliott Erwitt bought his camera as a tool, not an accessory. Also keep in mind that the quality of the paint job on original bodies was mediocre at best. They would scratch if you look at them cockeyed and the natural acid occurring in sweat would eat at it. The current paint is a lot tougher. It may be automotive in origin. A working photographer will even wear through the very tough anodized finishes and even the nickel, down to the brass. Winogrand certainly managed to do that, but then again he also made about 500,000 exposures. I've had my M6ttl for 11 years now and have managed to wear it down to the nickel in certain places.

peter_n Posted March 2, 2009 Share #940 Posted March 2, 2009 I think what Kenneth may be alluding to is that the wear is not natural... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
