You say the MP is your "main" body, does that mean the TTL is just backup for when the MP is in repair at Leica, or to use with a lens you only shoot occasionally? In that case I seriously doubt the shutter dial will be an issue worth trading over. OTOH if you are planning to be out shooting with both bodies using different lenses and/or film switching back and forth between bodies then the shutter rotation might be. I faced the same situation when I got my first M6TTL, and sold my Classic for another TTL, because I almost always shoot with 2 bodies. I guess my only puzzlement is why the MP would be your main body and not the M6. I'll grant you the MP is prettier than the M6, but the M6 is a lot nicer to use...more comfortable advance and frame preview levers and *much* nicer rewind. -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
