Pyrogallol Posted September 6, 2018 Share #781 Posted September 6, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just bought a “blind” M2, an MD. no viewfinder no rangefinder. It is in very good condition and probably had very little use. Intended for scientific use or on a Visoflex. Trying it out now with a wide angle lens and clip-on viewfinder. Welcome, dear visitor!

AdamSinger Posted September 15, 2018 Share #785 Posted September 15, 2018 The M2 is Leica's 356 Porsche Carrera, I have two M2s, on any major trip always have an M2 hidden away from the main camera kit, as back up. Dunno why Leica don't bring it back as the MA.2 For me 35.50.90 is all I need the rest is clutter. Now an MP with just 35/50/90 and my order would be in before you could say megapixie. Maybe the customisation options on the MP do you get there ?? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they don't because it would sell even fewer cameras than the M-A does. In any case, the M-A is already pretty much there. It doesn't have the frame masks as found in the M6/MP/M7 but, instead, has a comparatively uncluttered view with virtually non-existent frames for 75 and 135. You essentially have complete frames for 28, 35, 50 and 90 with little corner tick marks for 75 and 135. Welcome, dear visitor!

ianman Posted September 18, 2018 Share #789 Posted September 18, 2018 It may be possible to replace the MP frameline mask with an MA mask. The meter feedback would probably interfere with the lower 35mm frameline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meter feedback would probably interfere with the lower 35mm frameline. Yes, for sure. And the 28mm frame too. As far as I know Leica still provide custom à la carte 30/50/90 frame masks for the MP and M7 (albeit incomplete frames to allow for the metering diodes) and independent repairers like DAG can remove unwanted framelines from an existing mask set.
