" Perhaps she has been broken by purchases of an M8 and Summilux lenses etc. Not wanting any change of plan, I took her to the store and she bought the camera for me. She did say that she had purchased many clothes for more. The camera seems in very good shape, but what blows me away is the quality of a 74 year old lens at f2 when attached to the M8. A portrait of Jan, iso 640 and f2, Summar 50mm lens. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Lee/recent/Summar+f2+Jan.jpg.html Here is the camera, wow. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Lee/recent/Leica+III+Summar.jpg.html Camera and lens are only two years older than me. Hope you enjoy. Lee _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
