  Giorgio, Unless you are a collector of screw mount leica cameras, I
recommend:

Don't by any range finder. (a good quality Focos costs you another 200-300
Bucks),
but sell the 1G and by a 3F or M3. You should get more than enough for your 1G
to by either of this models plus a good lens.

Again, unless you are a collector, I can not see the the attraction of a 1G or
even a 3 G .

I own a 3G, but never use it. It is just a collectors item.
