RE: [Leica] Favorite screw-mount Leicas and lenses

["B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>]

Steve - forgive my lack of basic Leica knowledge - but - does the IIIg have
a single viewfinder/rangefinder eye piece, or is it like the IIIc and other
LTMs with the split eye piece?

My favourite LTM is the Leica 111G which i use almost as much as my M
cameras. My favourite lens, by far, is the Nikor 85/2.0. A very small lens
compared to the Summicron 90/2.0 and produces stunning images. Nikon
out-Leicaed Leica with this lens.
