OP bump. The P finally arrived yesterday, and I honestly don't know why I hated it so much the first time. It has the heft and size of a film M, the film advance feels good, the shutter speed dial is in the same place and feels almost the same as on an M. Canon did their homework back then. The shutter is louder and the viewfinder takes a second longer to register with the eye, thanks to the lack of hard edges on the RF patch, but the image is clear and its parallax-corrected.
One strap lug is a little loose, so I'll have to keep an eye on it.
Incredible value for what they sell for, especially given the Canon and Voigtlander LTM lenses out there.
