It's framelines, viewfinder, and rangefinder are BRIGHTER than every recently CLA'd M3 I've compared it with. > > The fact that you have owned Leica's for so long says to me that you care > about the quality of your equipment.

I know several long time M shooters with complete M6 outfits, with modern ASPH lenses. They are afraid to take them on location and have 15 grand stolen in a single camera bag. Both are buying Bessa R outfits to use on location. The best camera is always the one in your hands taking pictures. It is never the one at home in the camera bag. Stephen Gandy
