Mr.Prime Posted April 22, 2022 Share #67 Posted April 22, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Haven't had much chance to go out shooting recently. But today I wandered out for lunch with my M3 + 50 Lux hanging off my shoulder. Sat in a window seat inside the lunch restaurant I decided to snap a couple of photos of my friend. Oh boy, there's nothing quite like the feeling of bringing an M3 up to your eye and taking a shot. My friend wanted to take a photo too, I let her take the camera. I could see the smooth operation of the film advance lever and hear the snick of the shutter. Man, call me weird if you have to, but no digital camera ever gave me this feeling. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicaoptik Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share #70 Posted January 5, 2023 The prices for MP3 Blackpaint cameras go nuts, who expected that? I heared about an Camera that was sold for 60.000€ that is crazy… Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Users like us have to pay a hefty price to indulge in our passion 🤷♂️ Maybe time to design a limited edition of my own with Leica 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M2 style frame counter would be nice but is not essential. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaoptik Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share #73 Posted January 13, 2023 I think it is hardly possible to customize a M camera with those elements of the MP3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine @TheGodParticle/Hari is talking about commissioning a limited edition run with Leica. The MP3 is after all just a fancy MP with a different machined top-shell. Leica have reused the basic design relatively recently (2014) for the David Douglas Duncan edition. No reason (💲💰) why they couldn't be persuaded to do something similar again. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason (💲💰) why they couldn't be persuaded to do something similar again. Indeed, that’s my line of thought. There are many lovely film M bodies to choose from. But when I think about my absolute favorite - for my taste - in terms of external appearance as well as functionality, I realize it doesn’t exist.

thrid Posted September 13, 2023 Share #80 Posted September 13, 2023 It's a gorgeous camera. In hindsight I should have bought a black paint model when I had the chance. I consider the MP3 the modern M that got away. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
