I have the chance to gather a black paint MP, with classic rewind button, classic engraving, standard view finder and vulkanit leatherette.
Is this a dream finish? (I could have this one for a really good price.)

Buy it before you take your next breath of air.

Yep. I agree with that.
Me I'd order a Silver chrome one with the green leather and my kids names and date of birth engraved on it.

stupid leica
i don't shoot rf
unless you REALLY want a family heirloom, that would be a horrible idea lol
that would be really cool though, and hopefully something they would appreciate one day.

I think those are the same specs as mine, awesome camera, you won't need another one.
BTW, it takes good pictures too

Seems most MP's sell for 2200-2500 USD regardless of finish, leather, etc. If it is in great cosmetic condition, I'd say go for it.

black paint MP black vulcanite, absolutely no engraving anywhere.

For me, a chrome MP 0.85X viewfinder with separate 50/90 framelines, all of the classic Leica engraving with the vulcanite-like covering. Classic rewind knob too. In other words, as close to an M3 as possible.

My only thoughts are, what about the engraving? Should it be clean, MP style, or the classic.
Thanks for the input everyone.

Was just shooting that very camera but in black chrome today. A delight.
Black chrome, standard rewind, full engraving and vulcanite.

No mate it's just a dream ... buy the thing before you wake up!
Should we ask what is the dream lens you are going to attach to this beauty?
... and the strap or maybe a 1/2 case

If I got an MP a la carte, I'd get one like that, but with brown or black leather.

Get the .58 magnification (unless you shot long lenses). For 50mm or wider, the .58 is tight.

I'd bite on it If I could afford it. I'd rather have .85 viewfinder though

The best camera is one that still works!
These black paint MP's aren't anything special IMO ... and I would never want one ... at all.
Definitely not!

... likes film again.
.... if I could shoot more than 100 rolls of film without the need of having the camera serviced that would be great, no matter what finish.

Black Chrome
Classic Rewind, advance lever & frame selector lever
No engraving
.85 Finder
No 135 frame lines
It's basically what I have now, minus the classic rewind knob & levers.
