Don et al--

One comment about the viewfinder in the MP, and its relation to the M7
viewinfinder:

Don Dory wrote: <snip>
For the near future the only way to get the new viewfinder in your other M
is the transplant option.  Who knows, maybe that collector will never know
that the LN in box with all papers MP has an M7 viewfinder in it. </snip>

Apparently Leica is putting the new viewfinders (the ones you'll find in
the
MP) in all the new M7 cameras. Not sure when they started doing that, but
there are definitely cameras that have already been shipped that have them
,
and which serial numbers were the first with the new viewfinder, but that
should be "checkable," and yes, you will be able to do a transplant on the
finder window, I'm told by reputable sources. ;-)
