Greetings, I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but when Leitz came out with that M3 look-a-like a few years back I concluded that they looked on their customers as a bunch of fools. In my opinion, there is no practical use for the camera, and they will only be held as collectors items. Had they re-issued the real M3, or a camera with the M3's viewfinder and the newer film take-up spool, that might have been a useful camera. Peter Jon White
