[Leica] Leica M3 purchase

[jls at runbox.com (Jeffery Smith)]

After having handled the MP, it is hard to handle anything else. It feels 
like it was carved from a billet of steel. People compare it to the build 
quality of the M3, but it seems far more "solid" and smoother to me. I 
cannot imagine an RF being made any better than the new MP.
