Advertisement Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Hi TheGodParticle/Hari, Take a look here I love my MP3, M3J, MP6. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Matlock Posted February 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 20, 2021 Here is my MP3. Welcome, dear visitor!

ShivaYash Posted February 20, 2021 Share #3 Posted February 20, 2021 Why do you think these are unloved? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9reno Posted February 21, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 21, 2021 What about MP6 and M6J? I don’t think any of these are unloved. They simply appear in the respective ”I love my M_" threads for the camera families in which they belong, so you have to search... 😊 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show us your beauties in this thread, they deserve their own showcase Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 21, 2021 Share #7 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) As Al, has pointed out, these cameras have featured numerous times in the correct "I love my M.." threads. Rather than go down the route of creating a new thread for every single variation of M camera (or arbitrary grouping of variations) it might be better to stick to the existing threads (it's never too late to join in those and they always benefit from a fresh bump) or create a thread with more crossover appeal – e.g. "I love my black paint M" or something like that. Just IMO of course. Edited February 21, 2021 by wattsy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just IMO of course. I have no problems in joining the existing threads, as I usually do, but sometimes I don't feel the need to scroll many pages to see something specific I'm looking for. Which, to me, is the point of creating a new perspective as it encourages participation and discussion by surfacing a particular topic. "I love my black paint M" could very well sit within the existing threads, following your logic, but is indeed a new perspective. I do like the idea of a Black Paint thread. For my original intent, it would exclude posters like Matlock above, with a beautiful chrome sample, but I really do like the idea of a BP thread. Brassing included. As this is a rather niche topic, let's leave it to natural selection. If people want to post their special edition bodies here, so be it, if they want to stick to the respective threads, so be it. From what i gather, the MP3 was limited to 1000 copies, M3J was limited to 200, and the MP6 300-400 copies, so we won't be seeing a whole lot of activity in any case. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M10Alpine Posted February 24, 2021 Share #9 Posted February 24, 2021 The MP3 is the last MP I want, I have the other 3 dream MP's. The Black Paint, Anthracite and the Hammertone.

Herr Barnack Posted February 24, 2021 Share #11 Posted February 24, 2021 I love the Hammertone MP - it was a bummer to miss getting one back in 2003. 😢 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted February 24, 2021 Share #12 Posted February 24, 2021 The Hammertone MP looks better in life than on here but I think the Anthracite version is horrible whichever way I look at it. I still think the standard black lacquer MP is the prettiest of them all. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 25, 2021 Share #13 Posted February 25, 2021 I've never understood the appeal of either Hammertone or Anthracite finishes but I guess we all like different things. I do, however, like the shape of the 35 Summicron ASPH that came with one (or both?) of these editions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will indeed be the set to have and to shoot with. And maybe the original MP someday. Bill - weren’t you behind the MP3 and the Hammertone projects with Leica? @derleicaman Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
