The Japanese magazine Leica #7 concerning the M7 has 3d-Frequency graphs of the M7, M6TTL and M3 for 1/2 and 1/250 seconds comparison. The basic differences is really in the slow train where between actuation and end, the M7 is vitrually silent, otherwise there is no practicle difference to be noted. This is born out by my M3, M6 Classical and M7. As previouly said, a few feet away and there is no difference and I would believe that the MP would also bear this out.
BTW, the Japanese Leica publications are out of print but even in Japanese one can glean a lot of information and the photographs of the Leica equipment put any Western publication to shame. The M7 in this issue is completely torn down into its modular subcomponents.-Dick
