The MP Classic Black Paint was a 2004 edition of 500 sets, among the smaller runs Leica has made of the MP. The body is a standard MP in every mechanical respect: brass top and base plates, a 0.72x rangefinder, TTL metering, a fully mechanical 1s to 1/1000s shutter with B, and no dependence on a battery except for the meter. Black paint over brass wears to yellow metal at the corners and edges, which is the point of it for many buyers.
