Subject: [Leica] Leica M3 Purchase

As I was cleaning my M3 between rolls, I remembered this month is the 37th 
anniversary of me buying this camera (used, but in mint condition, with 50mm 
f/2 collapsible Summicron and MC meter, for $325.00).  It's pretty much been 
my constant companion ever since.  Nothing else feels such a part of my hand 
and eye.  I wish I knew exactly how many rolls I've exposed with it - I used 
to use it on the job too, so many, many of my university pictures went 
through that shutter.  

Sure think it was a splendid bargain.
