During the early 60's Carl Zeiss gave up the race against Leitz and was soon followed by Kodak. I have used a Leica M3 most of my photography life and consider this camera close to perfection. I have never used the other two cameras, except for examining them, and would appreciate opinions about their features and how their bodies and lens compare with the Leica M cameras
