  1. Hello all, Already having a M6 and M7, I just was offered a great deal on a double stroke Leica M3 camera from 1956 in excellent condition which I intend to buy. I have now a few weeks to test it before making the final decision, but I already like the design. Inserting a roll of film wasn't difficult either - fairly straight forward. The camera also comes with the Leica MR light meter which sits on the hotshoe of the camera. Standard lens on the camera is a version of the expandable 50/2 Summicron lens. So far I like the bright 0.92x viewfinder (even the slight blueish cast of the glass takes a bit to get used to). The only slight issue I currently have is that I am predominantly a 35 mm shooter, and I am using the Leica 35/2 (version IV) as my favorite lens. Would love to use this lens on the M3, but the M3 does not come with 35 mm frame lines. This leaves me with three options - getting an older 35/2 lens with goggles or an external 35 mm viewfinder to be inserted onto the hotshoe. Third possibility is to use 35 mm only with my M6 and M7 cameras which would limit my usage of the M3 restricting it to 50 and 90 mm (assuming I leave the MR light meter mounted on the hotshoe). I am not really eager to get another older 35/2 lens, and I wouldn't be able to use the MR light meter on the hotshoe when using an external 35 mm viewfinder. Potentially I could use the MR viewfinder handheld (or using another external light meter). Any advice/experience here from others who use the M3 with 35 mm lenses?
