I use a black III(F)serial number 129XXX with the 50mm Elmar (with hood) that came with it and with a Canon f1.2 (also with hood) and a Cosina 15mm--the latter with auxiliary viewfinders. I also use it with pinhole lenses from 15mm to 135mm. I use handheld meters or Sunny 16 or a Cosina meter that fits in the accessory shoe. No other camera feels as good in my hand as an LTM. I use modern RF cameras almost every day professionally but none feel as "natural" or "good" as the LTM, even the M6 falls short in my hands. An LTM-sized camera with a decent viewfinder and rangefinder and a built-in meter would capture my imagination far more than a new digital SLR, which I also use.
