Does the MP look this good close up?

 

[Stephanie Brim]

It is beautiful.

 

[back alley]

very nice.
when nikon bob was in town he showed me his version of that set up.

did i say very nice?

 

[JoeFriday]

it's very sexy.. but seems rather pricey considering it's not all original parts/condition

with a new top plate and what looks like new leather covers, this will never go for $3000.

so, basically, wait for the seller to lower the price, then score!

The black paint finish on this baby is what I hoped the new MP would look like but alas this is not the case. The new MP black paint finish is much more glossy and seems to show more imperfections like minor paint steaks or even a a few underlying specks of dirt in it's application than the sample shown here, almost as if the new coats were thinner. Pity

oh my, and I thought I'd never experience that old grade-school crush again ... something about black paint does that to a man.

The German stuff is always beautiful....but at least 50% more $$ than this side of the pond.

I don't get the black paint thing myself. I guess brassing doesn't appeal. Black or silver chrome is much tougher.

this presses me to ask:
is that japanese guy who do re-painting (slow, and not responding mails) still taking orders?

cheers and let us poor ones sleep over it 🙂
