I believe that some original null series had standard type view-finders fitted. If Leica had done this the camera would be much more of a user. Did the talk of Leica selling the Anastigmat as LTM ? Perhaps If the tried this demand for a new IIIf could be measured from increased used turnover in old cameras. Regards, Donald. PS: Any news of a new Summilux 50 ASPH yet ? I am getting impatient !
