[Leica] Your First Leica?

[Richard S Taylor]

My first Leica was a single-stroke M3 that I purchased used from “Olden Does the Impossible, Inc” in NYC.  It cost $160.  I don’t remember for sure what lens I got with it but most likely it was a 50mm collapsible Summicron, because that was a lens I truly loved.  I still have the M3, along with a 60’s vintage 50 Summilux and a more recent (but uncoded) 28 Summicron.  The camera still works fine, BTW.  

It’s nice to be back on the LUG.

Odds are quite good I'll never put another roll of Kodachrome through it but I do exercise the shutter every few months.  It, and my Precious (a.k.a. 280/4 APO), will never leave my possession.
