Luigi,
agree completely about 21 (especially) SuperAngulon. I failed to buy one for my Leica R4s some years ago and since then I cannot forgive myself. The "problem" is that I should prefer a white chrome and not a black one as I see @ Leicashop, but I wonder: is there any f:3.4 white chrome??

About M3: I am aware about M3-M4 difference, but during 1955 there was no M4 and, of course, I am not able to sell M4 for M3. I am lucky enough that my wife and our daughter do not want sell the great M4 and no Leitz object in our home.

It seems we are a real Leitz "family" :-)
