The original MP came with the M3 finder (50/90/135) but many were converted to M2 (35/50/90). The original finder was a standard M3 (0.91) and the M2 the 0,78. Leica would do the conversion at the time. The MP was just another version of the M3/M2 at the time - aimed at the pro market. The Leicavit MP was an added bonus - and it does help for fast shooting.
Wow, beautiful portrait of a beautiful lady Erik.

Was this just a typo on Tom A's part, or is the viewfinder on the M2 really 0.78? I thought the standard viewfinder on all Leicas after the M3 was 0.72.
