Leica MP

[Leikkor]

After months and months on end of contemplation I finally went ahead and bought a Leica MP in black paint.

I got it used from Map Camera's store in Shinjuku, it's in perfect condition and a real joy to use.

Now I just need to get my M2 serviced.

Congrats, I hope you'll make many beautiful images with it!

Thank you, koraks.

I have ran two rolls through it. I'm pretty happy with the below image.

Lol.

I actually used a DR Summicron. I was surprised by the lack of ghosting.

Chrome lens on black paint. Looking good!

I listen to classical music and he might be further away than you suspect…

My favorite combo, MP and DR. Some say the DR lacks the contrast of modern lens and I reply...good! It handles direct light very well imo.

I like the vintage Rigid on the MD262 since it makes much more pleasing images, sharp but not aggressively so. The Leica look…

I had a perfect copy of the Type 2 Summicron, which I stupidly sold during a bout of downsizing. But I kept my dad's Dual-Range, and prefer to use it to a more recent Type 4 Summicron. The latter is lighter weight, so easier if you travel. I have just started to experiment with a Canon 50mm ƒ/1.8 LTM lens (the mid-1960s black and chrome body), and it produces negatives that look a lot like the Type 2 Summicron. Good resolution, maybe a bit of glow, just plain pleasing. The Canon is a 6-element design.
