Don, I have also just 'rediscovered' the M3, although it is my own, which I bought in 1966. It was CLA'd by Sherry a couple of years ago and then put on the shelf while I used mostly my M6. When I got the Jupter-8 lens a few weeks ago I put it on the M3 just to see how it felt. Then I decided to put a roll of film through it. It was kind of a revelation, to be honest. That camera feels so sweet with a 50mm lens, and the big, bright finder is a huge plus. And the J8 seems to fit it particualrly well. I'll post some pictures later today. I'm always surprised at how the various M cameras have distinctive personalities. Phil Swango http://pswango.smugmug.com/
