If forced to select one, it would be neither .... sort of ...

My choice would be the chrome MP3. All the eye candy and fondling attributes of the classic Leica Ms, and the shooting attributes I grew up with through a succession of meterless and metered Ms.

In my case, either MF film or 35mm digital is taking over for color, but available light B&W is another story altogether. My MP3 may never see a roll of color film, but it has gobbled up brick after brick of B&W already.

Were it not for the digital migration for color work, the one camera would be a M7 no ifs ands or buts. I shoot weddings with a M, and the M7 was the best thing that ever happened to me for that application.
