I even use a Leitz bullet finder most of the time, unless I'm using a 135mm. This makes me 'less Leica' than someone using an M8? Also, since the III is a manual camera, I use a Sekonic light meter most of the time. If I put one of my Leica lenses on the camera so I'm pure as new driven Leitz snow, would the Sekonic call into question my Leica bona-fides? I ask this not out of personal interest, as I'm a hack who couldn't get into anything juried, but only to get some clarity. TCB +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Alastair, I feel that 100% Leica equipment, analogue or digital, is appropriate.
