Hi Gary,

Yours has the M3 frame counter.  The M2 is quite different.

FWIW the MP has the M2 counter and the lens release guard.  It could be
that you have a standard M3 with the self timer removed to fit an M2
body shell.

No matter what the best thing to do is get out an take picture <BG>

Regards,

Dennis
