Just curious, am I the only MP owner that doesn't totally hate the standard covering?

I have no problem so far with the standard covering that many refer to as "sandpaper like."
If I ever recover it (hopefully not for many many years if ever), I would probably put authentic leather of some sort on it though.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY Black Paint MP. Im super bummed about scratching the top plate after a few days of ownership, but its a sweet camera. I like it more than my M7 (which is at Leica for repair) and it just feel right. I do not mind the covering at all. I actually like it.

I just like the chrome regardless of the model. The covering is ok, it could have been nicer.

I also like the covering on my black MP, it provides an excellent, non-slip grip. Aesthetically, it has an understated, modern look. Nothing wrong with it at all.

I prefer the real, classic vulcanite - on the body and the lens. Now, if my wife would wear it, I'd really have something.

By the way, the meter will probably be for sale in the next couple of weeks in the RFF classifieds.
I've been wondering how taping a Leica will deter someone from stealing it. If they know Leicas they will know it even if it is taped.

In my case, the taping is mostly because I like the camera to look all black and more stealthy. My M4-p is quite beat up and crappy looking, so I figure that it doesn't look very appealing.

It's outlawed here too but that doesn't stop the criminals. They just keep stealing.

It's just one of a few that I brought back from Romania last year from a film shoot I was on. I don't intend to spend it. I keep a few bills from most of the places I travel to simply because I think they are nice looking. I just made this little still life with my MP, Passport and the Romanian bill, because PJ travel-style photography is what interests me most, and it's what I think of when I look at my Leica.
