I had my M7's done, they're both under Passport plus the 2-yr extension. I had to pay. Personally I think it's bad-faith on Leica's part with respect to the early-production M7's, because they began installing the MP finders less than a year after the M7 came out so it's hard to believe they didn't have it all planned out. And it's not like the el-cheapo ISO dial they switched to on the MP (although that's certainly a detraction from the MP's retro-kitsh appeal), the RF is a major functional deal. I believe they should have done the MP finder upgrades as a goodwill courtesy for those who were loyal and bought the M7 right away. I don't know about others but because of this experience I'll never buy another Leica product in the first year of production again. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
