Leica MP Black Paint.72 – Complete Boxed Set
2 years warranty
Up for sale is a breathtaking Leica MP 35mm film rangefinder, finished in the highly coveted Black Paint. This specific camera is offered as a complete, multi-tiered presentation set, appearing as close to a "brand new, old stock" experience as possible. As seen in the photos, this MP is in a truly exceptional condition.
Product Highlights
The Ultimate Analog M: This is the pinnacle of Leica’s purely mechanical rangefinder cameras. It relies on a battery only to power the built-in, highly accurate light meter. The shutter and all operations work perfectly without it, offering the highest level of mechanical reliability.
0.72x Viewfinder: Features the classic, versatile 0.72x magnification, optimal for most Leica M shooters using focal lengths from 28mm to 75mm, offering bright, clear frame lines.
The Black Paint Advantage: The camera features solid brass top and bottom plates finished in deep black paint, designed to develop a distinct "brass" patina with use, unique to every owner. The subtle, emerging brass on the edges, visible in the detailed close-up, hints at the beautiful future of this specific camera.
Condition Report
This particular Leica MP is in a condition that is rarely found.
Cosmetic: Exceptionally clean. The black paint is deep, the leatherette is perfect, and all control engravings are sharp and crisp. The very minimal signs of brassing on the corner edges are refined and elegant.
Mechanical: A complete joy to operate. The shutter speeds are accurate across all settings, the film advance is incredibly smooth, and the rangefinder is bright, clear, and perfectly aligned.
Optics: Viewfinder, lens mount, and all external glass surfaces are flawless.
