hirohhhh Posted February 27, 2022 Share #6 Posted February 27, 2022 I bet they messed up with the paint and noticed that only after finishing 20 units and decided to sell them as a limited edition 😁 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way it looks but from a practical stand point it is terrible. The shutter speed and aperture numbers are not filled in. When the light gets slightly low it will be impossible to see them. But it sure is pretty! Digressing... Lomo sells it's mislabelled film as Mistaken Identity. Basically they had a batch of Metropolis and Purple films that were labelled incorrectly. So you don't know what you are actually shooting until it is developed! I bought a bunch of it when it went on sale.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing the accurate accompanying text as well Quote Leica, specifically the Leica Store Berlin, will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a special limited edition Leica Monochrome “Blue Stain” manufactured by Leica MP.

250swb Posted March 1, 2022 Share #14 Posted March 1, 2022 It looks like a simple gun blue finish, maybe not as exotic as the garbled explanation implies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huss Posted March 1, 2022 Share #15 Posted March 1, 2022 Would anyone actually notice a difference unless under close inspection with a regular black chrome M? The only obvious give-away is that Leica forgot to fill in the paint on the engraving. Of course I don't think Leica made a black chrome MP, only BP or chrome.

Guest Posted August 8, 2023 Share #17 Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) In the Leica Store Frankfurt (ex- Foto Hobby) they showed me whispering a bluish MP and when I heard the price I changed the subject. The whole edition sold within a very few weeks. It reminded me of the M9E and I was too unsophisticated to appreciate this work of art. When I see cameras in exotic colors, I remember how Pentax offered about 20 different color combinations of the same model at once for 20-50 euro more. Whenever I want to hold a nicely brassed camera I search for my trusted Nikkormat in professional black (like Plossu‘s) for which nobody would pay me 90 euro. Not that I would want to part with it: a black camera brassed by me over so many years is worth keeping. Edited August 8, 2023 by Apochromat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kivis Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share #18 Posted August 9, 2023 It is a film camera not a Monochrom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
