MP on its way.

It's interesting that the MP is based on the pre-TTL M6. Leica is probably aware of the fact that a lot of people regard TTL flash control as somewhat inappropriate for what is basically a stealth camera. (Actually, TTL flash metering is an anomaly for all-manual cameras in general, including SLRs. The Olympus OM-3Ti has it, but I don't know what else does.) Apparently the MP uses a slightly modified version of the basic TTL meter on the M6 "classic." Anyhow, I'm glad they didn't take the most logical step and base the MP on the M4-P, because then I would have to have one. 🙁

That is a great price! 😱 The problem is that the camera paint will all wear off very quicky and then you'll get all this grotty brass stuff appearing everywhere... 😉

sexy!
Hey, do my eyes deceive me or does that half case have a grip molded in? If so, where do you get one? I'd like a half case to protect my M6, but I am not giving up my grip......

Tim, if you check ebay, I think you'll find that Luigi makes such half cases. I think I saw one of his for sale on ebay, so he definitely makes them. The price is another matter, though 🙁

Well, here's Luigi's web site: http://www.leicatime.com/cases line.htm
