It's a back up right? Or one body for color, the other for B&W?

Not quite, I would prefer a DB 5 "shooting break"!mfogiel said:

I agree. My personal preference would be a body with a different magnification but you cannot look beyond the MP once you already use one (and love it).Roger Hicks said:

Not on the list, Black OM-1 with 180/2.8 on her.

But that's in the category of operating supplies, like batteries. One might better say, "a lens!" but I believe the topic is a companion camera body...

I would be the best companion for a Leica MP. I am a very companionable camera person.
Plenty of exercise, lots of really good camera food, sometimes we'd get to be around naked people, travel to exotic places etc. etc.

Yes I agree. It all depends on the type of photographs you take. If you have a regular MP (0,72 magnification) I would go for a M3 (+50 or +90).

I would chose M8 for color (or if you need high ISOand have a ISO 100 in the MP), and MP for b&W. Also with diferent lenses.

Doesn't the bar beneath your posts indicate that you already have an M5, MP and M8 plus 50mm & 90mm summicrons? If so, can't you decide?
My suggestion would be another MP with different finish ie chrome/ black/ black paint so that you know which one has colour film etc.
Otherwise get an M7 - works in both AE and manual modes.

Whatever you do, do not get a M2 and M3 to go with that MP!!! Seriously, do NOT do it. You would risk having a very lonely, shut-in MP.
~I jest only in part. For I find when I want to shoot a 35, I grab my M2. For a 50, my go-to body is a M3. That accounts for most of my image taking.

Get a(nother) lens. Why another body?

I guess it is also a matter of which type of combo lens you are... and if it matters to you, or if you are looking for 1 body to be loaded in color and the other in b/w...
My MP is seconded with Hexar AF... because of AE, and its 35/2...
This being said, a M8 could be tempting if I had the cash for it !

Ah yes, Sitemistic, those were the days. I'm surprised he didn't advise a 5D.

One year and one day later:
I have to thank you all for your replies and advices!
It´s been a long time since i wanted to give my MP another companion. And many of you saw the result in my signature:
in spring 2008 i decided to buy a M5. It is a very unique camera and a beauty of her own. To work with her is a real pleasure for my heart and the heavy weight (700g) is perfectly ballanced in my hands. It was a decision of heart...
Later in summer i took the chance to buy a M8. And this activated much more interest in the M-System. I learn with the M8 and take these experiences when i take the MP or M5.
Again thank you all!
I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!
