skueh Posted March 24, 2023 Share #48 Posted March 24, 2023 My M2, 50 cron V1 and Leicavit MP are beautifully serviced and repainted by Shueido. I am very impressed with their paint job and services.

Such a shame as such a good looking camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted March 30, 2023 Share #53 Posted March 30, 2023 Hello. Does anyone have experience of (or even better - some real life photos) of Kanto 'Gloss Black Paint' repaint ? It's the one they suggest is closest to current MP black Paint . (I realise I can look on their Instagram but members photos would be really interesting to see, if anyone has examples) Thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go with Kanto, I'd recommend not going for their 'used finish' as it looks fake, but their regular finish is quite nice, probably the best after the real thing. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted March 30, 2023 Share #56 Posted March 30, 2023 I'm not the biggest fan of the very shiny piano black used on MP and M10-R. (All things being equal I'm more drawn to the more matte finish of M4 black paint). But I am re-painting a lens to match my black MP, so I think Kanto 'gloss black' will be the one to go for .

Graham, Shueido's semi glossy black paint matches the early M2/M3 black paint from the 60's and it might be easier to get a slot in their 2023 schedule ! The recent original black paint MP might be just a tad more glossy . Shueido have shared a few examples online .

shirubadanieru Posted March 31, 2023 Share #58 Posted March 31, 2023 @grahamc also please be aware that Kanto take anywhere from 12 to 16 months, so by the time they are done you might as well forget you even had the camera ahah Shueido are about 2~3 months, and quality wise / service they are as good as Kanto. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted March 31, 2023 Share #60 Posted March 31, 2023 Thanks Jean Marc @JMF, Thanks Dan @shirubadanieru The semi-gloss finish looks definitely nicer to my eye as a standalone lens. But this one I want to match with modern MP BP & 50:1.4 Millennium (to my eye these look the same, and I'm adding a 35mm repaint). So probably I'll go with the full gloss this time even though I kinda prefer the duller look . Fingers crossed! Best G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
