Elias Chen Posted December 17, 2021 Share #23 Posted December 17, 2021 A little question How long does your bp mp start to brass? This days I have been looking for my forever camera, and finally I am going to select the brand new black chrome ma or bp mp. I have known lots of guys say that their bp mp brassed quickly on the internet. Actually I don't like or hate this special effect, just to get a black brand new leica that could accompany me all the time and not so striking as silver one.😀 By the way, the videos of OP on bilibili are quite good.

andybarton Posted December 17, 2021 Share #24 Posted December 17, 2021 I had a black paint MP from new about 10 years ago. It started to brass within a year or two. Very nicely, just where you would expect it to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my MP new in 2006. It's never been carried in a case and often it's in a backpack with no padding or protection, I've not abused it but I haven't been over protective of it either. Some seem to brass very quickly and others, like mine seem to be more durable. It has a minor amount of brassing on the wind-on lever and the rewind knob and a tiny bit on the corners of the top plate step. Some of the white script has yellowed but that's about the visible extent of nearly 16 years of regular use, 100's of rolls of film and a lot of miles travelled. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot, it seems to have individual differences among MPs on brassing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBestSLIsALeicaflex Posted December 22, 2021 Share #29 Posted December 22, 2021 Black paint cameras look cool and their fun to fondle, and I've owned a couple each of the cheapies -- Leicaflex SL, Nikon F, modern Leica MP -- but when out in the field, actually using the cameras, for me, it doesn't matter if they're black, silver or green. Still have a couple F's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBestSLIsALeicaflex Posted January 10, 2022 Share #35 Posted January 10, 2022 I always like looking at these black paint M's, especially the original, old ones, where every scratch, rub, brassed area represented something, but when I've had a black paint camera (various MP's, several Leicaflex SL. a few F's), it never meant much in my hands when out in the field shooting. Ha, ha, wish I picked up a couple in the 90's though when they were cheap(er). Read somewhere that black paint was only a $50 or so upgrade back in the day. Once I brassed an M7 by knocking it against a wall. A chunk of silver flaked off, revealing the brass underneath. Still have a couple black paint F's. Maybe they'll have some value someday but not holding my breath. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
