Was there any problem with the glass pressure plate system used in 
the M3? Why did they intorduce it?

Improvements on the M3 with Dates and Beginning Serial Numbers:

1955 Frame selecter preview added - from 785891
1957 Pressure plate changed from glass to metal - from 844001
1957 Shutter speeds changed to mathematical progression - from 854001
1958 Double stroke changed to single stroke - from 915251

Anybody have price info for the M3 in 1955?
