Hi Peter,

In my opinion the IIIF is too big to carry it always, and also too nice!

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

When I go out with the intent to shoot, I just grab my bag which has a pair
of 
Leicas (IIIf and M3) and lenses and film. The Digilux 1 is too cumbersome to

carry around.

I did have an Olympus mu:-1 at one stage loaded with 400ASA that just sat in
the 
bottom of my pocket/bag/whatever.

If I had to choose one perhaps a IIIf with a wide 35mm.

that being said I notice that I have torn my jacket pocket. Camera damage?
