[Leica] M6 and MP differences?

[mingthein at gmail.com (Thein Onn Ming)]

I think the shutter dial on the M6TTL and MP makes sense though? Turn  
in the direction of the arrows for correct exposure.

I have a very stupid question: should the rewind knob on the M6TTL  
rotate when advancing the film normally? And how much resistance  
should there be when rewinding? I'm wondering if I'm doing something  
wrong because A) it doesn't rotate when advancing film and b) there's  
very little resistance when rewinding.   I plead total ignorance here  
because it's my first roll and first film Leica (though of course not  
first film camera or Leica; I have an M8 and used to use an F2 for a  
number of years).
