     Hi,
     
      I was talking to a knowledgeable collector of Nikon rangefinders 
     today, who claimed that Nikon SP and S3 were more collectible and 100 
     times better made cameras.  He was saying that Nikon started making 
     them right after the War when they had the highest quality metal for 
     guns.  I have heard some say that Nikon lenses were better than Leica 
     or Contax lenses but this is the first time to hear that Nikon 
     rangefinders were much better made than Leica.
      What is your opinion?  I hope this would not make too much of 
     uproars.
     
     Regards,
     David
