One day in a small shop I saw a girl (~10-year-old) having a chat with the shop owner. She had a good-looking M3 with 50 mm Summicron. I approached her and asked. "Is this yours?" "Yes." "Is it difficult to use?" "No. You just choose speed, aperture, and distance." She showed me one of her photos she took. It was nothing but what ordinary kids shoot, but the exposure and focusing were not bad. Then she began talking again with the shop owner how funny things her friends do at school. Later I knew that her father was a serious Leica-phile. I certainly envied her.
