Thanks for this nice example, it is really good, you (and other Luggers) are
right, T3 is a very great choice, but expensive for an everyday carry on the
pocket.

Salud!

There's more I don't understand here.

Luis here is a grab shot from the T3. The last frame on the film, rewinding
in the car while driving to the lab!
Very typical of my experience with the T3.
Sharp, very saturated, accurate exposure reading. It also tends to show some
vignetting in the corners, that is light fall off. This is more pronounced
with the small built in flash. I actually like the effect.

Hi all,

Some days ago I was reading B.D. recommendation to carry always a camera on
your pocket, I'm agree but usually I never do it. Why?, for me a Leica M is
a little too big, a Leica IIIF is just too nice.

I'm thinking on different possibilities and I would like to know your
experiences and opinions.

First at all, I'm "classical" and I prefer a film camera, as you know, I
shot normalIy B&W. I think that could be good options the following ones:
Leica CL (is still too big and maybe too expensive), the small Rollei 35 (I
think with Tessar), Leica Minilux (I think is better the model with Summarit
2,4/40mm than the zoom with a slower lens), Olympus XA, Minox ....

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance
Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis
