I could never understand the attraction of some people to the new Leica O, 
or the original for that matter. Using a open site type viewfinder at arm's 
reach, having to cap the lens before advancing the film. All stuff of little 
interest to me. On the street you'd look the night of the living dead taking 
snaps.

I do enjoy using the III series which is more like a minature M3 in use.
