Longtime IIIf User
I'm a longtime (40 years) LTM Leica user and have just received a Canon IIIA, the first Canon rangefinder which I've ever handled.
I must say that I'm quite pleasantlyurprised by the camera; it is a worthy rival to the Leica IIIc's and IIIf's that I use. The Canon has built in viewfinder optics for 100mm and 135mm which will be really handy in the field.
So far I've been using the Canon with FSU optics, a black Jupiter-8 and an Industar-22 collapsible. The results have been so good that I can see little reason to use different lenses.
Any other Canon LTM users among the Forum members?
