Those are lovely images indeed. And they have that wonderful Leica  
look. I always admired the elegance of the IIIf and have almost  
gotten one several times. The German guy who ran the base EM club  
photolab used a IIIg which is truly a collector's item now and  
convinced me to get the M3 when I could not get a decent print from  
my half frame Olympus Pen F. I sold the Pen F to another GI and  
bought the M3 with an illegal discount from a dealer friend of my  
camera advisor. Never regretted it until it was stolen years later  
along with the Visoflex and assorted lenses I had added to it.

Thanks for sharing the IIIf photos.
