Snipe10 Posted December 8, 2023 Share #521 Posted December 8, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just sold mine, did really well on it, think I'm picking up a NIB M10-R and pocketing a few extra thousand dollars, even with buying the R close to retail, no regrets, gives me some more cash for a lens.

If you decide to sell that lens, you might not be able to get back the BP which many collectors are happy letting them sit in their dry cabinets 🤣 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like the name. (just the name, the depicted camera is not done with style). Welcome, dear visitor!

Eh, I don't know, other than it being irreversible it's not really any different to people putting on soft releases or fancy straps, or buying a fancy leather bag to carry it in.. People like to bling up their gear and very few Leica digital bodies will be around long enough to show signs of significant natural brassing. And while I don't personally like the sandpapered look I don't really care if people do that to their own cameras, ESPECIALLY if it reduces the value of that camera for the next buyer when they finally sell it 😄 In the model making world we call it weathering, and it's an entire artform. Making a newly painted model look weathered and naturally worn is a skill developed over a loooong time. I'm sure there would be a market for someone with enough skill to nail that naturally brassed look, haven't seen a good example of it yet though (or maybe I have and just didn't realise it!). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to popular myth that only film Leicas do it, digital Ms DO get up in price as well. 2. ALL digital Leica cameras have shutter count, just like I have been explaining and showing the M10's service screen here. Nobody shared the keys combo to get in yet though. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! That camera has been on offer for a while. I’d like to think it would sell at that price, if only because I also have a 10R Black Paint, but I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has scratches and some brassing. I wouldn't say it devalues the camera. It is doing what it was meant to do. I'm not going to take sand paper to it, but some parts will eventually wear to brass. I'm not covering my BP M10R with covers and handling it with gloves. Why buy the BP then? Mine were either scratches, rubbing from the strap, putting it up to my chest (which is why the bottom left started to wear). I started seeing little white dots which I thought were smudges but, especially the bottom cover, as I cleaned it and rubbed it left the black paint specs on the cloth. So basically where the strap rubs, where my thumb goes, and where it rests on my chest when i hold it. also I am going to keep this camera forever. This is mine. So I don't care what someone else thinks about it being scratched. Things get scratched when you use them. Welcome, dear visitor!

overexposed Posted April 3, 2024 Share #528 Posted April 3, 2024 Well its only leica asking "and "getting" those prices. usually BPs go for 6-8k collectors might go for the leica price, as your have the leica guarantee and maybe warranty, that all is well with the camera.

T25UFO Posted April 3, 2024 Share #529 Posted April 3, 2024 4 hours ago, Al Brown said: This one has just arrived as marked on the photo and website. Well, it might be a new addition, but I receive regular marketing emails from Mayfair and they usually say 'just arrived'. I remember seeing another BP at Mayfair at least three months ago and I'm sure it was the same price. At the time, I was thinking of trading my BP for M11P - was offered a straight swap, but decided against. Here is the last email I received - also offered a rather nice silver M9Pat GBP 3,995 and SL2S Reporter at GBP 4,400, all of which had 'just arrived'. Welcome, dear visitor!

Lelmer Posted April 3, 2024 Share #530 Posted April 3, 2024 (edited) Recently seen one for 4300€, like new, full set, 2 batteries, 6000 shots...I didn't react because I prefer the black chrome version that I already have. I should have bought it and sold it right after in the UK 🙂 Edited April 3, 2024 by Lelmer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was proposed (and sold) on a Leica forum, together with a Summilux 50mm Asph and a Summilux 35mm FLE, also at a very attractive price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares what the bottom looks like? Since my M6 bodies in the 1980s I've never removed the plastic, primarily because I never see it so I don't think about it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugby Posted July 18, 2024 Share #534 Posted July 18, 2024 (edited) I had the good fortune to visit the Kurland Leica Store in Soho just prior to Covid, you managed to purchase a BP with a worthy ownership history - Congratulations, especially at the price.
