Am I alone in thinking that that is one of the nicest and most underrated Leicas ever produced? Thats right up there with a BP M4 on my want list now.

Absolutely yes but the "MP Classic" is even more underrated and that makes it more desirable IMO.

Wow they have either shot up in price or thats a very expensive one. I looked at one in a shop in Paris about a year ago for 1850 euro (2000 dollars) and that was in quite an expensive dealer. I'll stay away until I can get one for a better price than that.

Thanks for the heads up though.

The same deal with the Classic MP, beautiful camera, just a little too pricey to be a user for my budget.

Loving mine. IT's my go-to meter M. Love the big dial, red dot (currently changed to black dot), old rewind knob, blackpaint brass top over the regular M6.

Everything I wished the MP to have except the flarey Viewfinder.

You can add # 1348 to the list. This is my Millennium, finder was converted to 0.58. It is by now a well seasoned camera.
Piece of trivia: When Leica was working on the LHSA and Millennium cameras, I assisted with some input on the type of paint to use and the "glossiness" of it. At that time I suggested that they also paint the film-counter dial black with white numbers. This was taken from a series of original black paint DS M3's made in the 50's. It looked better than the bright chrome disc of the regular dial.

Thanks Tom, glad you provided that input...yours in on the list now too.
 
BP lens prices are crazy. I should have reached and bought a BP 50 Lux a few years ago when I had a chance for @$1,400. But my new friend got the Luigi treatment last night and will start service as my user Leica today. Here is a better photo.

Well I guess I know who bought this now, I was about to purchase this camera as well but you beat me to it :bang: Oh well enjoy the new camera :)
 
I just sent my serial number to the list. I have a BP 50 Summilux, toying with selling, but......

Maybe to the right buyer and price....
