[Leica] I just bought a film camera

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Brian,

Congratulations in acquiring your namesake camera.  I hope it performs well 
for you.  As a reference point, I have a Leica III, later converted to a 
IIIa, that has not been a shop since I purchased it in 1952.  If it were not 
for my acquiring a IIIf, it would still be my favorite camera.
