Id love to talk to people that own them (over coffee and cake - my treat!) and if possible even look at them and look through the VF etc I want to buy one but want a bit of practical experience with them first
Anyone fancy a hang out? 

[Jodad]

Doesn't anyone feel comfortable showing me their camera?! lol

Gladly - if I had one to show.

 

I've always fancied a IIIg myself too.

Sorry not to be able to show you in real life one of my IIIg.

 

Please have a look at this thread:

(post #6 for photos of differences in sizes)

 

IIIg is the best compromise in pleasure of using an M and (almost) portability of older LTM Leica.

It's the best viewfinder with parallax correction and diopter correction.

IIIg are quieter than M bodies and a bit more accurate in focussing than x0.72 M .

 

Least but not last:

Something that words could not explain in handling and using it .

 

Try one and have fun.

 

Regards,

Come up to Oxford when I'm back there in two weeks, and you're very welcome to see mine.

Thanks guys. 

@M9reno, thanks for the offer but oxford is a little far for me plus the train would probably also cost a fair bit.

There's one for sale at Red Dot Cameras right now. I'm sure they'd let you have a look through the viewfinder. The price looks good too!

And it looks nice too. Take your coffee and cake there, take a roll of film even, try it in/around the shop.

Hard to beat buying from a reputable.
