[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a IIIG with a bunch of lenses that I love to look at. It has a marvellous "feel" and makes me recall the fun I had taking pictures in the 1950s with a IIIf.. Periodically, as my memory dims, I take it and shoot up several rolls of film (so I can justify keeping the camera) and then pick up an M7 or M6 and wonder why I bothered ever using the IIIG. No, I have no intention of selling the IIIG but it sure makes one appreciate how user friendly an M7 can be.
