Advertisement Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Hi antistatic, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
chris_livsey Posted August 31, 2009 Share #1242 Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Far from casual, a really evocative set very well edited thanks for the link. We just did the Old Trafford tour for my son's 6th birthday they both ( I have two) loved running down the tunnel and sitting in the dressing room. I hope you went further North than Ullapool as many consider the Highlands only really start North of there Edited August 31, 2009 by chris_livsey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dk_samurai Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1244 Posted September 11, 2009 For Alan. An M7 with Vulcanite is also not so bad. A perfect combination together with the MP. I know this is an MP thread, but I'm just sooo curious as to what version of the M7 this is?? Is it an á la carte M7, or a limited edition? By the way, the original post and image can be found on page 13 of this thread. Best regards, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchow Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1245 Posted September 11, 2009 Hello everyone, I have been loitering on this thread for some time and now that i have just received my a la carte mp after two agonising months, i thought it might be appropriate to make my entrance... Black paint, with chrome controls and lizard skin finish. I was up in China for business this week and spent my free early mornings and late evenings trying out my mp. here are a few samples taken mostly with a noctilux, some with the 35mm summicron aspherical. It has been ten years since i have taken photographs and I am thrilled to be back at it. Nicolas Welcome, dear visitor!

One Pic A Day Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1246 Posted September 11, 2009 Hi Nicolas, welcome to this thread and to the forum - beautiful MP and even more beautiful pictures you took with it! You truly deserve such a wonderful camera. Great to have you here! Olivier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplomley Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1247 Posted September 11, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wonderful series presented and yes, welcome to the forum. Which film were you using for these images? Are they scanned negatives or prints? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1248 Posted September 11, 2009 Nicolas -- #2, 3 & 5 really are quite splendid. I *was* going to start the usual sour grapes about a la carte MPs, fancy skin coverings etc but then I changed my mind seeing the use to which it had been put! Very nice (and so is the camera). cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1249 Posted September 11, 2009 And while on the subject (which I wasn't) how many here are tempted to supplement (or replace??!) their MPs with M9s? Just wondering..... Personally, I am rather moretempted by the X1 at the moment... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchow Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1250 Posted September 11, 2009 The shots were taken with Tri-X film and digitally scanned. Thank you both very much for the encouragement! Leaving for NY tomorrow and have loaded quite a few rolls, hopefully the jet-lag will make me rise early just in time to capture the morning light.

I'm keeping my MPs but have sold both my M7s... I have a slush fund but I'll wait for a while, maybe until next year, but I will get one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Pic A Day Posted September 11, 2009 Share #1253 Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) No M9 for me, no way! On the contrary, I just bought an M3. I'm done with digital. I have an M8 I never use. Why get an M9? Edited September 11, 2009 by One Pic A Day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomP Posted September 12, 2009 Share #1255 Posted September 12, 2009 Here's my current set-up. Leica MP with 35 Summilux ASPH Leica R4S with 50 Summilux I bought the R4S after I got my MP. Was using the Summilux-R lesn on my Canon 5dm2 previously. The R lens were what that got me started on Leica. Love the current setup. Both cameras fit nicely in my Billingham L2 bag. Love the Gordy's straps too. I am in Heaven! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, both MPs are going nowhere. WoW!! M9! I saw a demo set at my local Leica servicing center when I picked up my CLA Summilux-R. Looks good so far. Doubt I will get one anytime soon. Now I got my MP for Manual shots and R4S for quick AE shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweeney Posted September 12, 2009 Share #1257 Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) And while on the subject (which I wasn't) how many here are tempted to supplement (or replace??!) their MPs with M9s? No way alun! I just got rid of my big 'ol Canon DSLR system and traded up for a really nice chrome MP with 0.58x finder and I'm really enjoying shooting again every day. The silly thing just begs to be taken for walks on the street! This is where I should have been all along. A sooper-dooper negative scanner is the next purchase and I'm all set. Here's my current set-up.Leica MP with 35 Summilux ASPH Leica R4S with 50 Summilux ZoomP, I'm kinda curious why you use two lenses that are so close to each other in focal length? I once heard that Salgado uses a 28mm and 35mm on his M cameras, and a 60mm macro on his R series, which I understood because a 60mm macro is special purpose and can't be easily adapted to an M camera. What kinds of things do you shoot mostly? Thanks for your thoughts. ~ Mike Edited September 12, 2009 by msweeney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted September 12, 2009 Share #1258 Posted September 12, 2009 Its probably a 24x36 format thing, where wide meets standard, and where telephoto meets standard. Its hard to think of more dissimilar lenses than the 35 and 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to think of more dissimilar lenses than the 35 and 50. Hmm, what do you mean by "more dissimilar"? I was thinking of the visual perspectives they give, and the f/stops available for each lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
