Let's see your Leica M

[elude]

Pas mal du tout !

The MP is my favourite, I regret selling it. Don't worry about changing the skin. I was like your but I ended up liking the original grip so...
Leica does it, lots of serious shops do it (Photosuffren, Procirep) so I don't think it changes anything. I have witnessed it and they simply apply the new fabric. Your MP is not waterproof anyway 😀

Here's my MP again ; i'm considering changing the covering for real leather - but i wonder if it's good for the camera (no waterproof and bad grip i think?)

playing with LR presets 🙂

The ON/OFF switch says it's a digital. Either M8.2 or M9. 🙂
Beautiful design anyway...

What I love is that it's the opposite of this page's first picture, a silver M9 with a 50 2.8 silver.

Both look awesome.

Yes I see but the M7 also has an on/off switch, no? (it has been awhile since I played with one)

 

[elude]

Indeed, but the inscriptions related to the switch (the white inscriptions) differ from the M7 (which has none I think) 😉

One hell of a hood. Rufff!!

 

[maddoc]

Nice! 😎 Can you still unscrew the two parts?

Black paint is so beautiful. Jealous.

It's just one of the pinch hoods so I can take it off no problem.

But the front and rear of the hood unscrew so you can fit a filter inbetween!
Still possible?

It reminds me of high school, the preferred beverage of the day.😀

And my latest M acquisition, an M8 with less than 1000 actuations that i'm really enjoying.

Great ) but do actuations really mean anything in terms of the reliability?

In the digital world it is analogous to highway miles on a car. 1000 miles on a car's odometer sure sounds better than 110,000 miles. So yes it matters.

Hello,

The lens has to go, sadly 🙁

New member here and wanted to share


Just added the thumbs up as well as added a focusing tab on the summicron. Plan on changing the skin next.

My current more streamlined setup:

M4-2
Pre-Asph 35 Summilux
ZM Planar
Pre-Asph 90 Summicron (on its way to DAG for collimation)
Sekonic L398
and lastly my CADPAT backpack which I think no one would assume to be a camera bag, plus it has loads of spare room for film, notepads, and my NEX-7 setup

Lately I have been thinking of selling the M4-2 and the Sekonic and putting the money towards an M6 to streamline things even more, and possibly ditching the 90 in favour of just the 35 & 50. The goal is to have a small and highly capable kit to take with me when I start my new career in the CF this year.
