If you really want to play with an LTM camera, then go for a IIIc or a IIIf. But if I were you, I would get a nice M3. I like my IIIf, but in all honesty the M3 is a quantum leap forward in terms of functionality...and your M lenses will work on it. The new LTM lenses from Leica are optically identical to their M equivalents and cost around 20% more. They are designed to cash in on the current LTM fad in Japan (although they are also available in Europe).
