If you click on those, you can see the product number. Black chrome one is the M7 product number, it's just mis-named as MP. The titanium model number was a titanium version of the MP.

Yes, as mentioned in the quoted thread (which was done so we don’t have to go through it all again), the “M7” stamped on the body is a bit of a give away as to what they are. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted July 10, 2022 Share #10 Posted July 10, 2022 More than twenty years of production, maybe time to leave the places for newer "classic M" ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huss Posted July 12, 2022 Share #11 Posted July 12, 2022 Is Leica Rumors the site that published the fake story about Leica building an 'affordable' film camera? Even though it sells all the expensive ones it makes? Who made up that story? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to be a pedant but I think the MP was introduced in 2003 so it isn't quite twenty years old yet. Still, a longer run than the M6. I imagine there will be an expensive 20th anniversary edition next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerodan Posted July 15, 2022 Share #14 Posted July 15, 2022 How many Leica M film cameras do they sell in a year I wonder? I often hope it's enough to justify production and that my measly purchases do a bit to keep them going :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian, I have no point at all. Ending or not MP building is neutral for me. Maybe time for Leica to move on with another offering of more modern M, even offering only M-A why not (regular and Ti). I had many times MP, and those are just a camera like other Ms that I happily use, not more & not less (or plus built-in meter comparing to M-A/M4).
