Re: [Leica] What is an "MP 6-"?

Hi Lucien,

       It's interesting that these limited edition MP 6-s have a much
more extheticly agreeable LEICA script than the regular MPs.  The
MP 6-s do not but the LEICA in the center, where it appears unbalanced
and plain.  The script is very similar to the M3s, etc., that include country
of production, below, etc.  Why does Leica 'hold out' on these
tradition for only 'special' cameras?   I guess if they can get more
money for the script, they figure, why not?
