Also, when I purchased my ML, since I didn't plan on using programmed mode, I looked at the MB which had been discontinued, but new ones were available. When I talked to Minox, I was told that the lens in the MB was an older design than the then current ML, though there was no nomenclature difference. A couple of years ago, while having the ML repaired. I was told that the shutter mechanism had been updated to the newer on included in the MDL and was more reliable. Minox updated my shutter to the newer one, since the problem was shutter related. My experiences with the ML are just the opposite of yours with the MB. I will put mine (and have) up against all but maybe Leica and German Zeiss. One additional thing I like about the Minox is the manual ISO setting. When I use the camera in AE, I can adjust the ISO, and have a Manual camera. I think of all of my current cameras, the only one I'd replace with exactly the same model if needed would be the ML.
