I used my M2 today for the first time since getting it back from Malcolm Taylor. Wow, it's smooth. I thought my M6 was smooth, smoother than my MP, but this M2 is smoooooth.

Nick De Marco Posted December 3, 2010 Share #184 Posted December 3, 2010 An old one during snow in 2008, called 'look what I found in the snow' - my favourite photo of my M2 Of course, it wasn't a find but the aftermath of a fall. Being an M2, aged slightly older than me, and not some plastic digital camera, the fall did no harm and only made a photo I like 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhild Posted December 5, 2010 Share #187 Posted December 5, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hmmm, lots of nice cameras here. I think about a M2 as well, already use a M3 and a M4-P. I know all three cameras are the same technically, apart from the rangefinder which is different on the M3. So my M4-P would be competing with the M2 which has only three framelines compared to 6 on the M4-P. So apart from a nice looking camera and one ,more in my collection what would I get?

I really have congratulate them for all the effort they put in to find me one. Thanks very much guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth3kpl Posted December 8, 2010 Share #191 Posted December 8, 2010 LOL, nice one Bill. She's a beauty. Unrelated, I was going to ask you if you're finding the meter on the MP a bit of a distraction rather than a help? Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted December 8, 2010 Share #192 Posted December 8, 2010 Hi Pete, Good question. I actually commented on it a bit here. It's different rather than distracting - it has taken a bit of getting used to, but then I am familiar with the displays in my M7 so it wasn't too much of a wrench. Interesting to see how I get on with two chrome bodies so similar, but one metered and one without, though... Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincoln_m Posted December 15, 2010 Share #197 Posted December 15, 2010 Beautiful photos of beautiful works of art. I'm beginning to think the M2 would beat the MP in a beauty contest every time. This one is also the same age as me but in better nick. Lincoln Welcome, dear visitor!

andybarton Posted December 16, 2010 Share #198 Posted December 16, 2010 I agree. I think that the M2 is the best looking M by far. I'm very privileged to keep one for a while. My daughter will look after it when I'm gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
