After missing a few shots because of forgetting the second stroke I actually got use to it very quickly. (I don't forget about doing it anymore, and it is not much slower to re-arm than an M6). I really like the feel of the camera. Thats my first old Leica and before using it, I always though that the older viewfinders were darker than the current ones (I use an M6 too) but I don't really see the difference except for color rendition, (My M3 as a very-very clean viewfinder). The other point is that a M3+50 Summicron is a heavy camera. I don't know what they've put inside, but guys, I've made muscles this week-end. (Maybe I've bought the Plain-Gold special edition!). I like that camera! Try it I you haven't! Regards from Paris/Jorge > > >> Yesterday I did buy an M3 double stroke with serial number 917174. > >> But considering Ben W.
