Thanks Jon, Dave and Bob. It's my first brand new film Leica. It's not not an expense I'll be repeating soon. I'm pretty happy though.
Jaymz007, please put up a picture of yours. You and I might have the last two ever made.

Ah, about that... I was caught off-guard by the MP arriving in less than one year so have made no arrangements. Plus I'm too skint now after such extravagance. Might have to settle for a Coke at McDonalds. Dress code downgraded to Smart Casual. Needs must.

I bet Leica would make you any camera you want ... if you offer them enough money.

I just looked at the Leica Camera website. Unless the site is lying, you can still order an a la carte MP today: https://a-la-carte-configurator.leica-camera.com/?lang=en&DEF=definitions_US

There seems to be a lot of rumour mongering at the moment regarding the MP. Someone on Leica Forum reckons soon the only way to order an MP is via the ALC mechanism. This isn't so bad in that you can just not opt for any ALC embellishments and get the standard MP for the standard MP price, if that's what you want.
Someone else told me that he heard the ALC MP would be abandoned and only standard 0.72 MPs would be available soon, which gels with the OP.
Anyway, as I mentioned in another thread, I sent my standard 0.72 MP in to Wetzlar for modification to 0.85. I wasn't going to die wondering.

Leica Rumors is saying the a la carte program will close down on June 7:

Stephen was absolutely correct, if one year early. But I'm glad he was early because it goaded me into ordering my dream variant, and modifying my standard MP to 0.85 vf.

No more a la carte?? Ugh. Need to get the budget up to order something. Or work out how to do it via third parties.
