Subject: [Leica] Hypothetical Trip question: M3 Black Paint & Pre-Asph Summilux Or IIIG & Current Summincron in LTM ?

Hypothetical:

You're about to embark on a one month trip to Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence).

You can only take one of two cameras.

A black M3 with matching Black paint Pre-Asph 50 Summilux, or a IIIG with 
rare contemporary current formula 50 Summicron in LTM ?

You will take Tri-X, and take a gossen luna pro digital meter, and Leica 
small tripod. All in a Domke 5XB

The camera that does not go will fund the trip...

Leica M3

Leica IIIG

Thank you for your comments,
Gonzalo

Ps. The M3 was painted last year and the IIIG and lens are on the way, but 
are not the one in this photograph.
