My fiancée and I will be married this 16 of september. This morning, I was walking around a well known camera dealer in brussel (near St. Boniface for the belgian people) and saw a Leica M3 in the shop. I entered, inspected the camera, and baught it. I had the plan to offer it to my girlfriend, as a wedding gift. This was so because I ennoy her now for more than six months with all the Leica docs I collected from the web, because I'm fond of the M6. Listening to me with such a kindness, she didn't stay unreceptive to the Leica addiction, and found the M3 the best camera of all. So, I come back home this midday, with a mystery look on my face, and, in a sudden, give her the camera. She was totally astonished by it, then, with also another, even more mystery look on her face, she asked me if I wanted also a wedding gift now, because it wasn't complete yet. I said yes. and then... ho, what happend, she gave me a brand new M6 TTL 0.72 silver chrome, apologizing herself for there was not yet the 35 summicron asph with it. The rest is a little bit to intimate to describe, but, ho boy, what a day!! This is totally real, and if not, I don't want to awake, what a wonderful girl I have... The M3 is an early one, double stroke, sn 740198, with a summicron 50 sn 1442083 The M6 has sn 2495878. at least, M... Grégoire Vandenschrick
