It rather gives better grip. Metering (spot) is considered better than that in the M6.

Here goes; 1- Speeds visible in the finder 2- Large shutter speeds dial 3- Diaphragm open/close indication in the finder 4- Ratcheted rewind lever 5- Analog continuous metering scale visible in the finder (none of that bright LED crap) 6- Battery test lever & indication in the finder 7- Spot metering 8- Metering area visible in the finder 9- 3 lugs possibility 10-Typical Leitz (as opposed to Leica) craftsmanship I guess the M5 still rules.
