mith986 Posted November 25, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi I am considering buying either a MP or MP Betriebsk. What would a reasonable price for them be? And is there any difference between the two? if you had to choose, which one would you go for? kind regards mith986 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Hi mith986, Take a look here MP or a MP Betriebsk. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
antistatic Posted November 25, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2008 Do you want to use it to take photos (MP) or collect it (MP Betriebsk)? I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell the only difference is the engraved "Betriebsk" on the top plate and the inevitable price premium for rare Leicas.

jaapv Posted November 25, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 25, 2008 I don't think the word reasonable applies to old type MPs (388 built), and even less to MP Betriebsk. If I were you I would go for a modern MP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted January 2, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) The Leica MP "Betriebsk." was made again in 2003, basically an engraving on top of the camera. But else the same. No idea how many were made. The original MP in 1957 was 25-50 samples. Guess it could be fun to have, especially when it gets patina from lots of use. Thought the typeface used is the modern one.
