My .85 M7 has come back home this month. Loving it!

Nothing plain about this rig. She is beautiful but what's with the white stuff on the strap?:eek:

Oh, they're just strips of an old t-shirt. The strap came with the camera. It works fine, but the strap-loop-things were metal, so I wrapped them to prevent them from marring the chrome – just a little paranoia. :o

Got it, I had a strap like that once but I used black masking tape to contain it.

My M4-2 after swapping the lens lock button. It took me some time to get the camera back to work ... :eek:

Jamie got me busted so I'm coming out of closet.

Anyways, I broke down and got it.

(I hope we can leave the black tape talk out. :p I'm just not much into red dots)

Now no 1.33 multiplying. It's 1.0x for all my Ms, and OM-D and Mamiya 7 cover the special occasions. I'm planning to do my next gig with M and OM only, no rented Canon gear...

Very Handsome. :cool:

Thanks, Peter ! :) So far it has served me well.

Is this an M7? Nice shot.

Looks like an M9 to me judging by that small hole above the taped leica logo.

Can someone tell me what that actually does?

my M4-p... Black Paint credits to John (nobbylon)!

my M7 with a new lease of life... Mahogany goat skin from cameraleather!

My M6 and M8.2 :)

its for assisting the light metering and guessing whats the lens aperture.

Nice Sug! I figured you were up to something when I saw the M8.2 go.

Enjoy!

I am SO getting that mahogany goatskin!!

Here's my MP again ; i'm considering changing the covering for real leather - but i wonder if it's good for the camera (no waterproof and bad grip i think?)




playing with LR presets :)

The ON/OFF switch says it's a digital. Either M8.2 or M9. :)
Beautiful design anyway...

What I love is that it's the opposite of this page's first picture, a silver M9 with a 50 2.8 silver.

Both look awesome.

Pas mal du tout !

The MP is my favourite, I regret selling it. Don't worry about changing the skin. I was like your but I ended up liking the original grip so...
Leica does it, lots of serious shops do it (Photosuffren, Procirep) so I don't think it changes anything. I have witnessed it and they simply apply the new fabric. Your MP is not waterproof anyway :D

Yes I see but the M7 also has an on/off switch, no? (it has been awhile since I played with one)

Indeed, but the inscriptions related to the switch (the white inscriptions) differ from the M7 (which has none I think) ;)

One hell of a hood. Rufff!!
