I would imagine that a cosmetically deficient but functionally acceptable IIIa or IIIc might serve your purpose. My pocket kit for day trips to New York is a postwar IIIc with a 50/1.5 Jupiter. If it were stolen, I think I'd mourn most over the loss of the orange rangefinder filter. Written by: Roy C.
