"If you could get a good deal, you probably would love to have a brand new Leica MP with some really nice leather covering and NO working parts, so you could just sit there and stare at it."

The best camera is one that still works!
Maybe Leica should start manufacturing designated shelf queens that actually have no internals aside from a lump of lead to simulate correct weight.

sounds like you're in the market for a display dummy. the only problem, Akiva, is that they cost as much as working cameras.

I'm not talking display dummies here ... I mean a genuine shelf queen equivalent of every model that they list in their cattledog!

There is an RFF member who owns an MP from which he had the entire metering system removed. I can't remember who it is, but I do recall that his thread about the meter-ectomy stirred debate and a little controversy. He loves the camera. Akiva, perhaps a little surgery is in order here.

Even if the weight was there, holding what would appear to be a working camera but in reality is a dummy...no way...would pay a dime for it...

Lead weight would be banned in EU. Just saying!

Youxin did this: took a couple of parts M4s and put them into a dummy M4 body. It's a beautiful camera.
