Black paint finish on MP - Leica M-A / M7 / MP and Film M - Leica …
Nov 26, 2024 · My MP BP is now two years old and has been well used but not intensively; there is no sign of brassing anywhere, but I can see a couple of light scratches. I use a half case which in theory protects all but the top plate, but if I looked carefully I could probably find fine marks from insertion and removal, and on the base plate from putting it ...
I love my MP - Leica M-A / M7 / MP and Film M - Leica Forum
Jan 11, 2025 · I just saw, for the first time, a Leica MP at my local shop. It is without a doubt, the best looking Leica I have seen in years. If I was in a position to buy a Leica, the MP would be my camera of choice. WHAT A CLASSIC!!!!!
Leica MP grip - Leica M-A / M7 / MP and Film M - Leica Forum
Jul 19, 2024 · For the back of the camera the film advance lever is the thumb grip, for fingers use the Leica grip 14405. Generally I'd only use the advance lever to brace the camera while composing a picture or carrying it at the ready, but despite the added bulk I do use the 14405 grip sometimes because it centres the tripod socket on the lens axis.
"Expose for shadows" with Leica MP? - Film Forum - Leica Forum

MP vs. M-A: Which viewfinder is better? - Leica Forum
Jan 3, 2015 · I'm currently looking into buying a new or demo used Leica MP 0.72 black paint. I considered the M-A for a while, too, but after comparing the black paint MP to the black M-A I'm sold on the MP. For me, the MP is a much more beautiful and classic looking camera.
MP or M7 - Leica M-A / M7 / MP and Film M - Leica Forum
Dec 2, 2024 · As far as I know, Leica does not release camera failure statistics. As far as wanting a Leica over the Nikon F3, romance and Madison Avenue would be my guess. If I do not pick up a Q3 or M11, my next Leica will be an M2 simply because the viewfinder is the best Leica ever made, IMHO! Edited December 2, 2024 by ktmrider2
MP vs M-A - Leica M-A / M7 / MP and Film M - Leica Forum
Jul 7, 2022 · Greetings- first post here. I am aiming to attain my first Leica shortly and am absolutely intent on it being brand new, thus only having two options; MP and M-A.

M4 vs. M4-2 and M4-P - Leica M-A / M7 / MP and Film M - Leica …
Jan 20, 2025 · However, the steps Leica took in the manufacturing process were to save money as they were on the ropes from the M5 and Japanese SLR’s.

Mar 23, 2020 · It depends how careful you are when you load. I like the satisfaction of starting the film off with the minimum amount of leader and routinely get 37½ or so frames per roll (there's almost always a bit of a frame on the roll – usually the best photograph 😀) …
