[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I recently acquired a very nice IIIf/50mm Summitar that looks like it just came out of the box. I intend to use it as a "pocket", point and shoot/street camera because I expected that it would go unnoticed by most people and it is very compact. I went to the mall at lunch today with the IIIf on a strap around my neck and no less than 4 people stopped me and asked me what kind of camera it was commenting that ". . . it sure looked nice", "how old is it", etc. I was really surprised by this. I can walk around all day with one of my M cameras and I have never had anyone ask about it. What has been the experience of this group? I'm curious.
