Leica MP unboxing and first impressions from a street photographer's point of view. I'm going to spend the next year shooting film photography and picked up a brand new Leica MP in black paint finish! This camera definitely lives up to the hype and is practically perfect in every way. But was it worth the price? I think so!
Of course, you don't need a Lecia to shoot film. You can shoot film on any old camera you find in a thrift shop but I've always wanted this camera so I decided to treat myself to my dream camera... For me, photography is a marraige rather than a first date. And if that's the case then the Leica MP is the trophy wife of cameras!
Zero regrets!!
Watch the video for my Leica MP unboxing and first impressions!

You can pick an Leica MP at your favorite online retailer:
Leica MP at B&H: bhpho.to/3AmdRrw
But to be honest most retailers are perpetually sold out of this camera. Your best bet might be to keep an eye on the nearest Leica Store and watch for stock to come in.
There are also a few Ebay sellers that have their own shops. I've purchased lenses from rangefinder.com.hk before and found them to be excellent. Fast shipping and everything arrived as described!

Many years ago, before the PM came out, I was at Sammy's Camera in Los Angeles and looking at the M7. The sales person showed me how well the camera is built by putting the body without the lens on the floor and stood on it!!! These cameras are built like a tank!!!

Looks like it's going to be a 35 Cron Asph V2 for the lens and HP5+ for film. I was always a Tri-X guy but they changed the formulation a few years back and it never "felt" the same to me if that makes sense? I've always like the way HP5 handles midtone contrast so I don't see any problems there... And then there's the price... 100' rolls of HP5+ (for bulk loading) is $90 at B&H and the same amount of Tri-X is $150! That's a pretty big difference!

@karledwards
@karledwards Жыл бұрын
Depends on your priority, really. The MP is a wonderfully built quality instrument but ultimately doesn't affect image quality the same way a lens would. That isn't to say that shooting with an MP can't inspire you in ways that are unique. But it's not like digital where the sensor has a larger play in the image quality. Beware though! An MP body was my gateweay drug!! I was originally looking at Voigtlander lenses to save a bit of money and ended up grabbing a 35 'Cron instead! LOL!

I’ve been wanting to simplify my camera gear for a long while now, and a Leica with just a 50mm (maybe a 28mm) would be all I need. My current Fujifilm gear serves as my personal documentation and general walkabout system for my personal projects alongside my film gear. While I love it and it’s fun, I still think there is something about having just a Leica body and one Leica lens and really focusing on my personal photography for that day. Cheers

@@karledwards I bought my CS5000 new years ago. Still have it. It'll scan an uncut 40 frame roll on its own so very convenient. The IR dust removal is majorly convenient too; doesn't work for B&W though. Anyhow, there's only about 20MP of detail on a 135 frame anyways. A modern digicam cam loses nothing to even the high dollar scanners like the Imacons. If you have a camera that'll do hires sensor shift hires modes you're in even better shape. I tried that a few times with my Panasonic G9. In hires mode, very high dynamic range, increased color resolution, zero noise, real 80MP output. Resample that down to 20MP as the digital negative. Excellent starting point for Photoshop/Lightroom follow-on.

Nah, I don't like the battery compartment lid. I prefer my M4 with build-in self-timer. ;-)

"because reasons" is that reason that you convinced yourself you could justify buying a Leica MP if you went quit turkey on digital and shot nothing but film for a year? Because that sounds exactly like something I'd do.

Hehehe! "Starting to!?!" I shot with an M6 back in 2014 and liked it a lot so I know what I'm getting into... But it's definitely a slippery slope!

Sorry, but I don't understand your point. You reposted one line out of context from a 6 minute long "first impressions" video and sighed? LOL!
