Go look at the following part of Erwin's site and you'll get good
information:

If I read it correctly, Erwin, this would seem to suggest that it's a good,
solid, reliable version of the M with a terrific metering system. Yes, it's
bigger than a traditional M, and shaped a bit differently....

Gee, it does sound like an Edsel, doesn't it? :-)
