In fact I don't consider even the IIIf to be 'obsolete'- it does what I want it to do, and it does it wonderfully! To me, the M-3 is like an M-6 without the meter! The R7? At times, it is too much on the cutting edge! It has features I rarely use, but it does have TTL flash capability which I need occasionally, otherwise the SL is the simple workhorse for a lot of what I do. I have a morbid fear that I will end up like the gentleman who came into our store on numerous occasions to buy N***n equipment- he has assembled 15-20,000 dollars worth of camera and lenses- using an N90 mostly, BUT HE SHOOTS EVERYTHING ON PROGRAM! His last trip- I did 42 rolls of film and it was all the same density! Needless to say, I love printing his stuff, but I still like to be in the 'driver's seat' with cars and cameras! We all bask in the light, But LUGgers Leica the night! Dan dwpost@msn.com
