Leica MP Reviews
The best camera for me
By Jiashuai
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-02-20
I've been wanting this camera since like 10 years back. Initially I really want to get an M7 because of one movie. Later the goal changed to an MP. I indeed received the camera at my Dad's birthday. We celebrate for him together and take a couple of photos with the MP. It looks great. The viewfinder really surprise me. The only disadvantage for me now is that I only had a Summilux-m 75/1.4 (I decided to get this one as the first lens after a little research. It's really hard for me to focusing with the 0.72x. Definitely need to get a magnifier soon.
BHphoto = Best Cust Service

Leica MP is simply the best, there is no way around it. However, buying my first Leica with BHphoto is probably the best decision I’ve had. I had experience with Adorama but BHphoto customer service is far superior. No return return fees (Adorama does make you pay return fees), exchange/return convenience, and fast shipping. If you decide between the two, BHphoto would be the best option as it gives you a peace of mind knowing that they will take care their customer. I had an issue with the first order and had to exchanged it. I called them and explained the situation and they exchanged it with no questions asked. Simply the best customer service by far. It reminds me of REI customer service (if you live in PNW you’ll know what I’m talking about). They have a customer for life. Thank you, BHphoto!

Can this be operated without a battery? Aside from the light meter not working...
Yes, Leica film cameras (MP's, M-A's, M6's etc.) are completely mechanical and no battery is necessary to operate the camera. You are correct regarding the battery is used for the light meter only.

Please forgive what might be a silly question as I'm new to rangefinders... Does this camera come with the patch in the middle of the rangefinder to help find focus?
Yes, it has the two rangefinder rectangles in the viewfinder that you would superimpose the image onto each other to aid in focusing.
