Alexander,
The original MP was essentially a M3 with a M2 film counter and a
Leicavit attached.  So if you love the M3 finder it was a very fine
camera indeed.  From memory, the Leicavit was made out of brass and
therefore on the heavy side, the function was one continuous stroke.

All in all a lovely camera.

Does anyone, know anyone, who owns an original Leica MP and if so how
does 
it compare to the new one? I am not in the market (or even in the
ballpark, 
heck even the game) for owning one, merely curious.
