I just grabbed it. Very excited, too! Yay! I'm happy to hear you got one. Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I don't expect to get much sleep tonight. This is not my first M but it's the one I've wanted most for a long time. Maybe we'll get to compare notes once you receive yours :). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 Hi jackbaty, Take a look here MP deliveries?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
EddieCheddar Posted July 8, 2021 Share #42 Posted July 8, 2021 Ha! "I'll show you mine if you show me yours!" Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow, too. Yes, if you want we can "direct message" each other on here, or talk on the phone, and compare notes and then compare photos on the "picture" thread on here. Can't wait. (Is it tomorrow yet?) Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2021 Share #43 Posted July 9, 2021 I am wondering if this recent flurry of interest, and purchases of, the MP is indicative of a real uptick of use of film cameras? There certainly is a backlog of production and supply of the MP at Leica, and maybe the MA too. I bought an MA last year, and then recently as per my posts on this thread a MP, this along with a Nikon F3 and a FE this year too, ( really great cameras and systems, I'd forgotten how damn good the earlier F Nikons were, still are ). I found little reason for my usage to upgrade my M10-P to the M10-R even though I tried the R for a couple of weeks, ( my dealer gave me a "loaner" ), but I wasn't sufficiently impressed with the camera to take the financial hit in upgrading and the excitement surrounding what may be the sometime due M11 leaves me somewhat cold. The 10's are just fine and anyway I have a M10-M and a M10-D along with the P and perhaps in all good reason enough is enough............Now pretty much finished with pro' work I am finding that my pace of personal photography now is slower and much more deliberate, something that suits film photography better than digital acquisition I think.....So a return to using film, though not exclusively, is hopefully going to prove to be a good direction to go now. I take photographs to print those which work for me, it's a complete process that I've embraced for a long time because in makes perfect sense and now developing the film, scanning and selecting "keepers" will round out the whole "slower"approach..............If only I can finish the work on building the darkroom, the exposed rolls are mounting up in the drawer!

a.noctilux Posted July 9, 2021 Share #44 Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Peter, why don't you buy another drawer ? Just kidding. My best film + M user 'model' is Garry Winogrand as 'film user' I repeat myself. It didn't matter to 'see' the results, the most important is 'taking the pics', he had (legend ?) left thousands of rolls unprocessed when he passed away. I like the idea that he didn't return home if not finishing his 'for-the-day' ten rolls which he transported in his pockets. Welcome, dear visitor!

Darkroom?....Getting closer, finished the electrics today, some carpentry tomorrow and plumbing in the sink and taps next Monday or Tuesday. It should be in operation later in the week, but two rolls of Tri-X that I've run through the new MP have just joined the "waiting list" so it'll be a long first processing session.

Ben is now the third generation "Stephens" to run the store. He and his team are extremely helpful.

Thanks! I got in contact with him and apparently my MP came in back in February but they couldn't get a hold of me or there was some miscommunication. He checked with his stock guy and it is still sitting there ready to be shipped! So hopefully I'll have it in the next week. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
