The Leica script is engraved and filled with paint. ???? The shop had a new silver MP sitting on red velvet, next to a nearly new silver M3. I asked to have a play with the M3 (my first time!) and it was everything I've read about. Very solid feel, firm controls knobs dials etc. The shutter was quieter than any M6 I've used. I didn't think the viewfinder was as bright as an M6, but the magnification was like reality. Only two sets of framelines, (50 and 90??) and they were better lit than any M6 They wanted $5200 kanga bucks for the MP and $3900 for the M3. That would be about $2200 US for the M3 - a bit expensive, no? Rick Dykstra. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
