Why no 0.85 MP's for sale?

[boarini2003]

I've noticed that there aren't any MP's for sale with a 0.85 viewfinder. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Does somebody know why? So what if somebody wants one? Would a la carte be the only remaining choice? Seems silly...

AFAIK, they are not available except through a la carte 🙁. But it IS a source of additonal revenue for Leica...

Check Tamrkin. I saw one there last week. a la carte is your only choice for a new one.

I second the suggestion on Tamarkin. That's where I got my used MINT black 0.85 MP.

conditions. I bought a mint chrome ttl/.85 from them 2 weeks ago. Only ruined 2 rolls of film before I got the loading down.

Classic Connection or KOH camera might have one. I've delt with KOH for years and bought a certified MP .85 from Sam at Classic Connection. I've also delt with George Ury and he might have one.

Both 0.58 and 0.85 mags are now a la carte. I think they actually stopped the manufacture end of June of last year. The only production mag now is 0.72.
