Well, to be fair, you do get a red dot in the lens release button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the M-A was introduced, it was "cheaper" than the MP - it still is. The "new M6" seems to be an MP not in black paint, but anodized black . Those "colors" have always - since the time of the Leica II - been a reason for a higher price (chrome more expensive than black paint, plack paint more expensive than chrome, anodized more expensive than ... etc.).

neekon Posted October 19, 2022 Share #887 Â Posted October 19, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) its likely the same finish as the M11 black paint, which would mean its potentially an aluminum body. Â Why buy this over a second hand original M6? Â no reason I can see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick with my M2 (I just don't see what another film body would offer me and I'd rather put the money into lenses), but it's real pretty.

Ediz7531 Posted October 19, 2022 Share #890  Posted October 19, 2022 This looks more tempting to me than the current black paint MP. The latter’s paint is way too shiny and a fingerprint magnet.  Hopefully the limited edition 500 units part is wrong though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted October 19, 2022 Share #891 Â Posted October 19, 2022 Q. Why is fingerprint magnet bad but brassing is good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huss Posted October 19, 2022 Share #892 Â Posted October 19, 2022 But is it a Limited edition? Â Otherwise I have seen perfect M6 classics that look just like that for $2500. Â And neither have black paint that the cheaper MP has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomas Posted October 19, 2022 Share #895  Posted October 19, 2022 Am 18.10.2022 um 18:56 schrieb pippy: The subject of 'the price of Film' piqued my interest so I've just had a look to see what I could find on the web. One UK-based pharmacy chain (possibly the one mentioned by andrew01 in the post quoted) is currently advertising 36-exp. rolls of Fuji 200ASA C-41 film for £8.99 per roll which, somewhat surprisingly, is slightly cheaper (allowing for inflation) than it was 30 years ago when, apparently, it would set one back around £9.25 per roll. My guess why it's cheaper: the old film was an high class film. The Fuji 200 of today is the cheaper budget film C200 now sold more expensive as the much better Superia 200 that is gone. C200 was sold here for 2,99 Euro in a 2 film package a few years ago. One roll Superia 200 was around 4,95 Euro then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
