Subject: [Leica] Features to look for in an M3

I've been using an M3 so long I don't even think about it. I don't even
have problems switching between a double stroke M3 and a single stroke M2
or M4. Something about the distance triggers a reflex "one more time" in
the M3. The strokes are longer in the others so the reflex never kicks in.

Different strokes for different folks :)
