The MP is a religious item introduced to address the needs of fundamentalist LEICA followers. These reactionaries know that any innovation developed after the lifetime of The Prophet is the mark of Satan, and must be expunged . For instance, the MP has no rewind crank, just a knob, and no TTL flash metering. Even the older LEICA M6 is more advanced than the new MP, with a better film winding lever, too. Rumor has it that the next version of the MP will eliminate the TTL meter and replace the flashy film advance lever with a traditional knurled knob, but let's get back to the superior LEICA M6 and M6 TTL.——Ken大嘴
