Vlad Posted May 18, 2009 Share #1094 Posted May 18, 2009 Damn you all vile creatures, you have all sparked my lust for MP. My .72 M6 with 35 cron pre-asph is working well, there is no way she's going to be my only Leica film body for long. Any suggestions on a reasonable price for a mint MP? I saw a few bodies at Popflash, their prices seem to be fair. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman Villain Posted May 18, 2009 Share #1095 Posted May 18, 2009 Keep posting! I think the MP is probably the sexiest camera ever made....I don't own one yet but would like to someday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maddoc2003jp Posted May 18, 2009 Share #1096 Posted May 18, 2009 To keep this thread going.. heres my MP6. one of my favorites.. 35mm Summilux-M pre-ASPH in titanium, my guess ?? NICE piece of glass !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkie Posted May 19, 2009 Share #1097 Posted May 19, 2009 35mm Summilux-M pre-ASPH in titanium, my guess ?? NICE piece of glass !! Its the 1st version chrome 35/1.4 Summilux (with Ollux hood) using rare earth glass. It was the world's fastest 35mm lens for its time when it was released by Leitz back in the 1960's. It was the father to your 35/1.4 pre-ASPH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About that MP-6 ... I have googled a little about that MP version and it looks like there were only 400 units made, for the Japanese market ? Something like a pre-production MP with different engravings and leather coverage ? Edited May 19, 2009 by maddoc2003jp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkie Posted May 19, 2009 Share #1099 Posted May 19, 2009 Nice !! I haven't seen one of these yet. These are rare lenses. You have to handle one to appreciate its build quality. It uses an E41 filter so the glass is slightly wider than yours (which makes it even more incredible that Leitz was able to make the lens smaller, yet still at f1.4 with later versions, such as yours (a nice late example with the latest coatings) You can see some more pics of this lens in Lots 207/208: WestLicht Photographica Auction The black V1's are super rare. About that MP-6 ... I have googled a little about that MP version and it looks like there were only 400 units made, for the Japanese market ?

Guest maddoc2003jp Posted May 19, 2009 Share #1100 Posted May 19, 2009 ^^ Thanks a lot for the information and the link !! Now there is one different version of this lens I some day would like to use, the 35mm Summilux-M Aspherical (1st version, not the actual ASPH) Unfortunately $$$$ out of reach ...
