nice you got yours too. looks great without the red dot. my M4-P should get a CLA too, but one at a time! or i would be broke! Mine wants the MP type shutter advance arm, and the viewfinder flare fix upgrade. essex doesnt offer that service, so i prabably have to send it to Sherry Krauter.

Nice! My M3 was rejected because it was too nice looking 🙂 Robert was great to email back and forth, and I'll find another M3/2 so I can have a black one too!

Can you post some more pictures?--the top and back?

Looks good ! (... even without the red dot 😱)

Is the rewind crank from a Leicaflex SL or M4 ? It looks different to my - standard - M4-P ...
 
I think the finder is about 650$? + labour alone and my guess would be that not many have a scrapped M6J so they can sell you a used one 😉 The Advance lever is 60$ new from Leica, the film counter probably needs to be ordered from Leica as well. The Cla is 250$? since Youxin doesnt do M6´s. My guess would be that you will probably need to pay at least 1000$ for the whole thing...

Can you just switch those advance levers yourself or would you have to send the camera in?

And btw, I _love the one with the rapid advance thingy and the black M with the chrome style base plate.

Hmm ok then that was just "wishful thinking" I guess.....I`m not used to CLA/Repairs on M and what they cost etc.

Youxin Ye has done all the IIIC`s I have had done in the past, and the price was alot cheaper, so I will just have to ship it out via DAG or Sherry, I guess since it`s a business camera, I better not shortchange myself 🙂 - Thanks!

After 12 years of using an M6 for personal work I finally did it: instead of going digital I bought an MP, jippeeeehh!!!, wich will hopefully stay with me for years to come. I always longed for a chrome one, having a black M6, but this little gem was only three months old and reasonably priced.

I just love these cameras, they are a joy to use!
Cheers....

historicist, Martin, that are two pretty cool shots ! 😎 However, I like the one from historicist better because of the Japanese book in the background .... ( Leica lens no ... ) 😀

@ historicist: You had an M4-P, before the M4 ? (I remember a photo of yours at flicker taken in Sendai ... )
 
martin-f5 - aah, the Berlin to Bavaria Thinkpad connection! Lovely camera!

maddoc - yes, I sold the m4p when I found the m4 for a good price (you can see why...). I prefer the chrome look and the rangefinder isn't as prone to flare.
