I wish that I would have had the opportunity to try ALL the Leicas before
answering this question. Based on my experience (IIIa, IIf, IIIf, IIIg, M2,
M4, M6, RE) the winner is...the IIIg. A perfect fit for my large hands and
a nice uncluttered viewfinder. The smoothest wind and shtter release of any
Leica I own. Coupled with a nice 50 Summicron this camera has produced some
of my nicest photos.

Some folks would disqualify the IIIg because I requires the use of
accessorie finders, but I kind of like them.
