Anyone have or use a Leica C3?

Does anyone own a Leica C3, & how do you like it? Just picked one up today in like new condition cheap. I can give it to the wife, put it in the pack to keep with me. That way I don't have to worry about my nicer gear getting bumped around during the work week.

It's got a lovely lens on it but is a pure point and shot, imo. Give it to someone who doesn't understand cameras and they will get several beautiful shots whilst the more complicated or manual users are struggling.

The exposure is centre weighted and usually works well, the lens has one or two ASPh elements. It doesn't zoom as we'd say these days but goes 28mm, 42mm, 50mm and then in 10's to 80. Anyway, a great little camera.
