I've been there. In the 70's and early 80's, I used to photograph  
artist portfolios with a DR 50 on an M3. Best damn chromes those  
folks ever saw. But after I snagged a 55 micro-nikkor I never looked  
back.
By the way I know that those chromes looked great. Sometime back, a  
friend of mine had a job reorganizing the image files and catalogue  
of the contemporary museum here in LA. One time on a visit at her  
work, she showed me my slides next to some others. A leica shooter  
would of appreciated the quality difference.
