Well the newer shutter dial as used on the M6TTL is a definite improvement
over the old dial and very useful IMHO, don't like the rewind on the MP,
but could live with it.

Which are the elements which give the MP it's charm and which are the
elements which take away from it's functionality.
Some mileages differ. I happen to like the bigger knob turning the same
direction as the R series and I have serious reservations about the
rewind mechanism. The point though is which features get deemed good and
bad, stays and goes, we hope by it's usefulness. Not cuteness
