If you crave the smallest possible size, then the iiig/Summicron stays.
However, if you want to avoid film trimming, slow winding, a full lens stop
slower speed, and the annoyance of shifting your eye from RF to VF, then
keep the M3 outfit.

Who sold his IIIg outfit several years ago in favor of an M3, and doesn't
regret it a bit.

Subject: [Leica] Hypothetical Trip question: M3 Black Paint & Pre-Asph
Summilux Or IIIG & Current Summincron in LTM ?
Hypothetical:
You're about to embark on a one month trip to Italy (Rome, Venice,
Florence).
You can only take one of two cameras.
A black M3 with matching Black paint Pre-Asph 50 Summilux, or a IIIG with
rare contemporary current formula 50 Summicron in LTM ?
You will take Tri-X, and take a gossen luna pro digital meter, and Leica
small tripod. All in a Domke 5XB
The camera that does not go will fund the trip...
Leica M3

Thank you for your comments,

Ps. The M3 was painted last year and the IIIG and lens are on the way, but
are not the one in this photograph.
