Have you bought and sold an MM?

No doubt. Check out the MM landscape thread for inspiration.

Just got the Monochrom all set up and registered. Strange for me personally how they give you a very nice leather strap, but this morning I switched back to my well-worn Gordy strap, and switched out the baseplate for the grip/baseplate I was using on the M9. Yes, even with an $8k camera, you still want to personalize it.

Big question now is whether I should mat and frame the Jacob Aue Sobol print that came with the camera!

The included "Leica Premium Leather strap" is crap! :-)
A Gordy's is much, much better in every way. I tried to age the Leica leather strap and the neck pad split in two because it was glued with a crappy glue and not stiched. The strap itself feels a lot better after some twisting, stretching and abuse but the Gordy's strap I paid about $30 for is much, much better... And Leica wants $150 for the original MM strap if you want it replaced

Silly really.
