T25UFO Posted June 7, 2021 Share #43 Posted June 7, 2021 4 hours ago, Steven said: OK . . . I'll have another try. By process of elimination . . .not film so must be digital. Can't be M11 so must be M10. Has six digits so M10xxx. Now we just have to guess what is xxx? Lots of people still prefer the 24mp sweet spot and Leica will want to use up the last remaining supply (did the same thing with the Reporter) so this will be the last in the line of M10 with 24mp. What else do many of us want? Black Paint! So I'm going for M10P-BP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

derleicaman Posted June 8, 2021 Share #53 Posted June 8, 2021 18 hours ago, farnz said: From jerrybei.com "Leica MP-3 was produced for LHSA back in 2005. The Leica MP3 retains that Classic M3 look whilst incorporating the convenience of a Leica MP body, this combination is what is making it highly desirable. Leica produced 1000 sets of the MP3 including 500 in chrome and 500 in black paint. All of the sets came in a very nice presentation box, with the camera, Leicavit winder and a Special edition 50mm Summilux asph lens." The "3" refers to the camera having just 3 framelines, 35, 50, and 90. Pete. Sorry, it was not named MP3 because of 3 framelines. The point of this special edition was to bring back the original MP, which at that time was virtually unobtainable for the average user. MP2 was already used by Leica for a motorized camera that never went into production. So I came up with MP3 to differentiate it from the original MP and MP2. External exposure counter, elephant ear lugs, raised window frames with a modern meter. Plus the Leicavit which we had used on the Hammertone and the piece de resistance, the retro 50 Summilux. Believe it or not, the hardest thing to get right were the strap lugs! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably already pre-sold. No not Kodachrome but the rest is ok - I think it will be Tri-X pushed to 1600 ASA with original grain from ISO 100-1600. Limited to 1600 units in a bundle with the pre asph. 35mm Summilux. Promotion name: The holy grail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

derleicaman Posted June 8, 2021 Share #60 Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) 11 hours ago, Steven said: and now the mp3 itself is unobtainable by the average user. if I remember correctly, you are the one who came up with the idea of the MP3, and the one who had to fight hard to push it to become a reality. Not. congratulations, you and your team have created the perfect camera. not even mentioning that gorgeous retro 50mm. A true masterpiece. Sometimes, before I go to sleep, I fantasize about selling every gear I own to fund an MP3, make it my only camera body and keep one lens only, and live happily ever after. It certainly has become unobtanium. I am amazed at the pricing on certain Leica things these days. Unfortunately, the price just keeps going higher. Thank you for complementing my "team", which would be me, myself and I! 🙂 I work with the folks at Leica and dream these things up. Then I work with them to get it done and it becomes a reality. It is not an easy process. The Black paint camera took 4 years to happen, with Leica initially not being very cooperative. The Hammertone took about 2 years. The most difficult thing to get right was the Hammertone finish, of course. The MP3 was actually the easiest one of the bunch. By that time, Leica was in somewhat desperate straights and in need of a revenue generator. I took advantage of this and really pushed them on this one to get everything I wanted. This one only took about a year. As noted, the elephant ear lugs were the most difficult thing for them to do on it. We also looked at a meterless, more pure version, but I figured if people were going to use the camera they would appreciate the meter. I also got pushback on the lens. The 50/1.4 ASPH was fairly new at the time, and they didn't want to divert production for a special model. Somehow, I convinced them it would be in their best interest to do it. Now it is a "regular" limited edition model. For the most recent special edition for the LHSA, initially it was going to be a Monochrom MD 262, but the advent of the M10 killed it off. Se we went ahead with the 50/2 APO Retro design which was intended to be in the kit. Ironically, I was told at the beginning of that project that we could not do the Retro 50/1.4 ASPH. I laughed and said that was very interesting. They asked why I was laughing. I said, because I was the one that came up with that lens and you're telling me we can't do it. Good thing they were willing to do the 50/2 APO, otherwise it would have killed off the whole project if we had just gone with the Monochrom. So with all of these "specials", I pushed for something unique and different, not just engraving. Some of those things became "normal" for future Leica products, such as the black paint finish. When I requested it, it was a lost art, and in the end they hired it out to a firm in Austria. Also, the "Black Dot" was my requirement for this camera too. Retro version of the 35/2 Summicron ASPH done special for the Hammertone. As noted, the special features and lens for the MP3, and now the 50/2 APO Retro lens.
