On December 24, 2024, I picked up my venerable Leica M3 year 1956 (see below for details) for a photowalk in Lyon city, France. I went to Fourvière, enjoying a not too cold (6°C) and clear sunny weather.
My Leica was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film. I equipped the Summicron 2/5cm lens with a Hoya HMC AUV screw-on 39mm protective filter plus the Leitz shade hood for all indoor scenes, and outdoor I mounted a push-on 42mm FOCA (France) Yellow x2.5 filter and a generic cylindrical stainless steel hood that, unfortunately, induced some vignette if not perfectly aligned, that should be corrected during the processing). I should find a 39mm screw-on filter more safe to use with my Summicron 2/5cm,
Expositions were determined for the indicated 400 ISO (28 DIN) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas and erected for the filter absorption if any.
The outside temperature was about 6°C with a bright sunny weather in the afternoon. Typically exposures outdoor were made at 1/250s with apertures ranging from f/8 to 11 and 1/50s or 1/25s at full aperture f/2 or f/2.8 indoor.

After exposure, the film was processed in Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 6 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures. All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This Leica M3 circa 1956 (Ref. Leitz ISUMO), double stroke, was sold to me with a Leitz Wetzlar Summicron collapsible normal lens 1:2 f=5cm of the same period equipped with a 39mm screw-on protective filter, a 42mm push-on Leica lens cap and an original Leitz shade hood (Ref. Leitz IROOA).
The camera was serviced in Paris, France, in 2018 by Gérard Métrot at Photo-Suffren, (a Leica boutique) who worked on the maintenance of camera's of famous French photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. The camera was inspected by Odéon-Photo, Paris, another historic Leica place in Paris, in April 2024.
I sourced at the same time in Germany a stunning Leitz Leica leather bag (Ref; Leitz IDCOO) of the same model that appeared on the back cover page go the Leica brochure year 1954. This bag can accommodate the camera and a mounted Leica-Meter type M. The interior in covered with a carmin velvet in perfect condition.
The Leica M3 is one of the most iconic range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's and the 60's. It was produced in Wetzlar, Germany, in different versions at 226178 exemplars, between 1954 (n° 700000) and 1966 (n° 1164865, www.summilux.net/materiel/Leica-M3) . The Leica M3 was the result of the study of a "super-Leica" that was started before WWII and only achieved in the 50'S.
The greater improvement of the M3 compared the classical Leica's was in a magnificent and very complex range-finder combined to the view finder permitting the framing with the two eyes open, integrating the frame in the real and normal vision. The shutter integrates too the normal and the slow speeds in the same barillet. The film advance of this version of Leica M3 is also the typical "double-stroke" advance that was exclusive to the Leica M3 first versions.
The camera was transported to me from Paris to Lyon, France on April 26, 2024 and the bag arrived the day after.

Speciose Niyokindi, a mother who once struggled to feed her children, testifies: 'Without credit, farming would have been impossible for my husband and me. We didn’t even have land to cultivate. Thanks to the microfinance loan and guidance from agronomists, we now have bountiful harvests and a brighter future.'
With their debt nearly repaid, Speciose and her family plan to expand into livestock farming. Her story is a testament to how financial inclusion can uplift communities.

Burundi is a low-income country, with 80% of its population working in agriculture. In 2019, a study by the National Bank of Burundi revealed a stark reality: only 2% of loans from microfinance institutions supported the agricultural sector. Recognising this gap, Cordaid launched the Rural Innovative Finance Development Support Project (PADFIR) to bridge the divide.
PADFIR has helped rural farmers access vital resources, transforming their lives and livelihoods by raising awareness, creating tailored financial products, and partnering with microfinance institutions.
One of PADFIR’s standout initiatives is the introduction of agri-finance using the Agriculture Credit Assessment Tool (A-CAT). This tool facilitates financing across the agricultural value chain, ensuring farmers receive the support they need for sustainable growth. As the project approaches its conclusion, the results are evident: countless families have gained financial independence and stability.
Marc Bancanamwo’s journey is a success story. With a loan of 1,133 euros, he harvested over 73 tons of potatoes, earning recognition as a seed multiplier in Mwaro province. 'Cordaid connected us with microfinance collaborators who provided funding and technical support,' Marc explains. 'The advice on planting calendars, seasonal best practices, and modern techniques was invaluable.'
Egide Kamaranyota oversees PADFIR’s microfinance initiatives and highlights the collaborative effort with 12 microfinance institutions. 'Together, we’ve developed financial products tailored to the rural sector. Awareness-raising has been central to our success,' he notes.
The Twitezimbere Financial Institution, a PADFIR partner, credits Cordaid’s support for their growth. 'Cordaid provided us with training, agricultural finance tools like A-CAT, and resources such as motorbikes and an agronomist to improve customer outreach and support in the field,' director Egide Nijebariko shared.
Despite the progress, challenges persist. Many microfinance institutions view agriculture as high-risk due to disrupting factors like climate change. Farmers, too, often hesitate to embrace credit. To address these barriers, PADFIR has introduced community-based rural microfinance and piloted agricultural micro-insurances, offering much-needed security for farmers.
Cordaid’s plans are ambitious yet grounded in the needs of rural communities. The organisation aims to make farmers more resilient by expanding access to credit, raising awareness, and training microfinance agents. The pilot phase of the micro-insurance initiative will also be extended to include more members and new partnerships will be welcomed to enhance the project’s impact.
Since 2019, Cordaid has promoted sustainable agri-food systems in Burundi, focusing on climate resilience and rural financing. Following its merger with ICCO in 2021, the organisation has broadened its scope to address systemic challenges in agriculture, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for rural farmers.
