My Leica.

Excuse my self gratification but here is my pride and joy, my Leica double stroke M3, Leitz Summaron f/3.5, Luigi half case, Gordy strap and still kicking Leicameter MR.

 

It's also sporting a custom cover from Cameraleather.com but I have mixed feelings about it. It looks good in a Hermes M9 sort of a way but it took 3 months to arrive and several emails without reply to receive it. The rear door section also didn't quite fit either. I ended up fitting a piece from aki-asahi there instead, a company with less choice but far superior service.

 

I bought the M3 from ebay and it took a good service from CRR Luton to bring it back up to scratch. The lens I sourced from Red Dot Cameras in London, another great shop.

 

This camera just feels right in my hands and as such, it is right.
