In fact, my suggestion is to next purchase all three VF mags in the new MP so your statistical sampling will have more integrity. Enjoying my one .58 mag M7 and old reliable .72 mag M2 :) Gary - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Caliguri" <caliguri@rcn.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us>; <leica-users-digest@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2003 5:20 PM Subject: [Leica] Revenge of the Special Order Chrome M7's!! > Hi All - > After the report that the MP-6 or M6-P (or M"PP" or M "Wee - Wee") > --- whatever --- will be offered in Black and silver with all V.F.
