M4-P with Summicron 35/2 asph

This is as beautiful and simple as it gets. When all that accumulated gear simply gets too much - this M4-P and 35/2 is the essence. Beautiful!

That is a really nice camera to inherit!
Read a manual how to use the M3 (it really is very simple).
Use a few rolls of cheap color film from the drugstore, get it developed at the drugstore (careful, read the fine print first and ask first hand that you get your negatives back together with the prints).
If the pictures are good, all is well.

Simple setup I use last week when travel to Sumba Island

Nice!
I often use a medium format camera next to a quick M as well. How you feel to use both cameras with normal lenses (I mostly try to pair cameras that have different lenses on them, like a 35mm on the M with a 80mm on MF, …).
 
My first Leica, and my last camera for 2 years now. Truly a GAS killer. Although I do get the urge to send her for a nice repaint sometimes, to cover up the many many scratches on the top and bottom plate.
