No. IMO those models are just as good as the over 1 million models, all else (i.e. mechanical condition) being equal. Some people feel that the ones over one million were a little better put together since the assembly staff at Leica were very experienced by that time. I have no idea what truth there is to this, but Erwin Puts says he has investigated the issue and found it to be without substance. That's good enough for me. I would bet that a well cared for M3 with a serial number under one million would be a much better purchase than a "more thoroughly used" camera with a higher serial number. Paul Chefurka
