Ken, you should consider one thing about SM Leicas: they are babe magnets. I
used to have a IIIf in the 90s in Brussels. This was also a period when my wife
dragged me to a lot of fancy parties in the international community of which we
were a part. Whenever I took the IIIf with me, I had to fight off all kinds of
attractive women who wanted to have a closer look. I am not kidding.
