Well-known
I don't believe that MP's are still made, M-A's, yes.
Was there a discontinuation notice from Leica about the MP that I missed?
Seems odd that they would discontinue the more functional camera of the two, especially since the difference in price between them is so small. As far as I know, the only difference between the MP and the M-A is the light meter on the MP.
(Note: I'm not saying that the MP, which I consider more functional by virtue of having a light meter that the M-A lacks, is better or more desirable than the M-A. Which one is "better" is entirely a matter of personal preference.)
