Is there anyone that actually prefers e.g. the bottom-loading vs. a easy swinging-back loading with a small window to show if/what film-type is loaded? Cheers, p. ------------- I agree so much that I just sold my M3 and bought a Bessa R3a. The Bessa probably won't be working 40 years from now, but neither will I. Film will be long gone anyway. The Bessa has a beautiful 1:1 viewfinder and is lighter and more comfortable to hold than the M3. Also, the AE is very accurate. I did have to give up using the 135 T E because it won't focus reliably on the Bessa body. $549 at B&H. Easy decision. Bill Lawlor
