Let's share our beloved M9 ME MM1 setups here?

Its interesting to see a M9/M9P like this. May I know how much did you spend for the conversion in Leica?

I dislike the black paint or the steel grey paints of the regular M9 series. The only chrome versions of the M9 are M9-P or special editions. So I decided to create my own chrome M9.
I did not send the camera to Leica for conversion to M9-P, because that's too expensive (about 2000 Euros! )

I send the camera to a London chrome plating workshop.

The conversion of the top and bottom cover cost 90 GBP, for paint strip and chrome plating.
You will need to disassemble the parts and take down the circuit board, desolder the hotshoe, along with all the dials, button, and glasses before sending the parts to the workshop.

The cowhide skin and the leather strap were both made by myself. The materials cost about 15 GBP in total.

The markings were filled with oil-based paints by myself. The paints cost about 10 GBP in total.
I also made the hotshoe cover myself, by cutting and filing down a generic thumb grip.

So total cost is just above 100 GBP, but many hours of handiwork by myself :P

M4 - M7 style frame line selection lever. XD

Very nice！

Maybe even better if your filter is chrome.

I see "ching" probably spent a lot of hard work on this beloved M9. It's a Great personal item full of characters.

Exactly! This is why I probably would never sell this lens.  Only 950 copies of 11621 were made in three batches in 1999.
