Mechanical Perfection. That's what the MP abbreviation means according to Leica. Is the MP labeling just marketing, or is there some truth to it?

The LEICA MP is probably the best film camera ever made, and ever will be made. Same goes with the Leica 35mm f/2 ASPH lens, the best Leica lens that money can buy.

The Leica M-P (Typ 240) is a premium version of the standard M with a scratch-resistant rear LCD, extended shooting buffer, and inconspicuous design—but it's priced at a premium as well.

The Leica MP is often touted as the ultimate Leica camera. My perspective might be influenced by the contrarian in me, but I’ve long been quite sceptical.
