essvaun Posted December 17, 2017 Share #483 Posted December 17, 2017 Four years after buying my 1957 M3 from the original owner, having it serviced & the vulcanite replaced I've finally managed to mate it to a similarly aged (1958) rigid Summicron. Looking so forward to getting out & shooting with it in 2018, I can't think of too many other things that would not only be fit for purpose, but still as fit for it, after 60 years. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rent Posted December 28, 2017 Share #484 Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Finally got my M3 repaired and repainted by Kanto. They did a wonderful job. The workmanship and communication were both excellent. All expectations including delivery timeframe were met. Very happy! Welcome, dear visitor!

TheBestSLIsALeicaflex Posted January 12, 2018 Share #491 Posted January 12, 2018 I've always wanted to sample an M3. My grandmother travelled extensively in the 1950's and she had one with a 35/90. My eldest brother inherited the outfit, and sold it in the mid-80's for an R4 + 35/90 (go figure). But I wear eyeglasses. Last year I finally acquired a SS M3. No problems with eye relief and glasses. As I get back into rangefinders after a 5-6 year absence, I'm finding I like the higher magnification models (Leica M3, Nikon S2), but I'm just a 50mm guy. Anyway, wish I tried the M3 sooner. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguilera85 Posted March 5, 2018 Share #496 Posted March 5, 2018 Here is my M3 fully transformed! A classic duo. I wonder how many reporters and enthusiasts used this same setup (except for the more modern light meter) back in the day?
