Advertisement Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Hi jacksparrow, Take a look here I love my MP . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
meatboy Posted February 20, 2007 Share #142 Posted February 20, 2007 eugenio, whats that lens you have on your MP, a chrome 50mm ASPH? Why do we consider a MPs to be a she I wonder? Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksparrow Posted February 21, 2007 Share #143 Posted February 21, 2007 yes, it's a chrome 50mm ASPH... Although it doesn't say ASPH in the front, is that normal? MP is a she... well, in spanish it's LA camara (female) so there you are. Anyway, maybe women would consider it to be a "he". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian moore Posted February 21, 2007 Share #145 Posted February 21, 2007 The MP is my favourite camera of all time but my M7 is a better camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted February 22, 2007 Share #148 Posted February 22, 2007 David, page 1 & 7 this thread. Also there is a black with chrome lens which looks great. I still think chrome chrome has it in the looks department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

octo Posted February 28, 2007 Share #153 Posted February 28, 2007 I dropped my M2 just before shooting a show but it went on working despite the speed dial running continuously from 1/60th to B. Still, I sent it to Malcolm Taylor for a quick check-up. Then I brought the IIIg to do another show and it quit on me right away, as if there were no longer any springs inside, so off to Malcolm it went, too; anyway, thank God they were doing another show the next day because I was really supposed to have a few pictures to print so I brought both the MP with a 75 APO ASPH and the DS M3 with an Elmar 2.8/50 M, to be sure. The MP is a pleasure to shoot with, the x 1.25 glass helping a lot with the 75 frame in poor light conditions, but the M3 was incredible: bright, big image in the viewfinder, helped a lot by the wide white frame (ok, I know it's unfair to compare the 2 viewfinders, especially with different lenses), the softest whisper when I pressed the release whereas the MP made an audible click and the release felt harder compared with the M3. So, for an assignment, I'd take the MP because I still believe it would be more reliable, more versatile and accomodating in terms of the type of lenses you can put on but for sheer pleasure of fondling the camera as well as taking pictures (definitely with a 50mm lens), I'd take the M3.

pemayeux Posted March 1, 2007 Share #154 Posted March 1, 2007 Wonderful pictures of wonderful MP. Martin's MP on the wood is really lovely. Congratulations everybody indeed. I use an M4 with venerable 21 f:3.4 Super Angulon and 50 f:2 Summicron. I really enjoy this outfit, though would love add one MP and even one M3. I wonder: how much time I'll be able to use film cameras? Please reassure me, if you can. Otherwise I'll go for one lovely M8, but something will change. Though I have caved and bought an M8, I have not intention of getting rid of the MP. I think some 35 films will be around for as long as I can shot. I recently watched a program on PBS about the penguins and low and behold the producer had a M6 and was using it. I suspect the extreme temperatures preclude using digital. I thought of this as I plan to make a trip to Yellowstone NP next winter. I don't know if the batteries of the M8 will stand up to the cold therefore I will have the MP along with a good supply of Kodachrome. They way I feel, one needs both the M8 and a film M.

flavio Posted March 1, 2007 Share #155 Posted March 1, 2007 I think the same, though I understand that many M8 shooters have no problem in the cold, maybe with some more battery pack in the bag. If I had to go in real cold areas, I will bring along an M4 or any mechanical body with M8 (if I had one M8...). I wonder if M8 and Aperture (or any similar software) may be the new Kodachrome, as someone else has said in another thread. It may actually be.

edlaurpic Posted March 2, 2007 Share #156 Posted March 2, 2007 I have a very well used beautiful black MP with leicavit that is starting to brass out that I would never sell, as well as a black M3 with original black leicavit, again which I would never sell. And what I have just realized, after acquiring a brand new chrome special edition LHSA MP3 kit, is that I am a black paint kinda Leica guy rather than a chrome kinda Leica guy. Now that I have realized this, I want to sell the chrome MP3 kit, but I don't want to subject myself to the notorious auction site experience. I am active on some other forums that focus on Leica, including the one on photo.net, but I have been most active recently here and on the digital sub-forum of this site because of the M8 I acquired and use a lot now. Therefore I would like to see if I can sell the MP3 through this site. However, there does not seem to be a for sale/trade section related to this forum and I can't recall seeing anything listed for sale or trade here. Is that because it is not allowed or is there a special area devoted to selling/trading of which I am not aware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milsu Posted March 2, 2007 Share #160 Posted March 2, 2007 Yea, just think about dead pixels covered by the firmware. And when all pixels die, they have surely uploaded some pictures in advance to substitute the photos you have taken. Film now and forever! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
