Well I kept an M3 that has lost shutter function and a partially desilvered
focus patch.   Sherry can repair it for $1000 which pretty much makes it to
be new functionally.   It would bring back good memories but I doubt I
would ever run a roll of film through it.  For that I can always load up my
III with a Summar and relive the thirties.
