ktmrider2 Posted September 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 19, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think I own too many film cameras: M2, M5, R6.2, Nikon F, and Mamiya 645 but I have my eye on a very nice black paint film M. I know it works the same as a chrome body there is something about that black enamel finish. I would give serious consideration to selling the other M bodies since I honestly don't take enough photos to support that many cameras. And it is $1700 cheaper then an MA or MP and looks better IMHO. I am sure others here have more cameras then they need but at 64 I believe I am entitled to a few extravagant purchases. Would you? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelwj Posted September 19, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 19, 2017 I sold my chrome M4 and black M6 for a black chrome M4. You can only use one camera at a time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted September 19, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 19, 2017 When you see one BP M4 in real, you can't resist to take it in your hands. When you have that in your hands, it's too late. In my BP Leica, only "late '30s III converted to IIIf Black Paint" has that quality of lacquer lost in later M (after BP M4 it's BP M6ttl/MP , 30 years gap ) Buying on line don't have that feeling, you may resist .

plaidshirts Posted September 19, 2017 Share #5 Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) YES! I know you can only shoot one camera at a time, but by that same logic you should only own one pair of underwear also (I have at least 2 ). I own 9 film cameras (3 of them Leica) and find that each has its own raison d'etre. Edited September 19, 2017 by plaidshirts 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washing day will be a bit less exciting but I see your point. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
