That's true of most people who buy MPs (the poseurs!) but not *me* (he said, 
slightly wounded). I bought my MP-3 LHSA kit because there's always been an 
irresistible resonance between some executive center in my mind and the 
unique styling of both the M3?and the dangerous/raffish associations of the 
original MP?and the original 50 'lux. I'm mindlessly drawn to both of them. 
Put them all together, paint them black, and resistance is futile. Doubtless 
a result of adolescent imprinting from falling in love with Leica at the 
birth of photographic consciousness at age 12.

I am such a slave to my id.
