Thanks to another LUG member, I now have a MDa camera.  Why did I buy the
ultimately dumbed down Leica M body?
The negatives:
It has no VF
It has no RF
It has no meter

The positives:
It has an M bayonet on the front.
It has a accessory finder foot on top.
I has no (wretched) twist knob to rewind the film.
It is probably the least desirable M Camera made, and therefore sells for
less than any other M body.

It is just peachy for my 15mm Heliar lens!

Thanks John.
