Omg... M3 on the way

[thmk]

Just got my yearly bonus and - what a coincidence - I found a beater M3 with a Summicron 2/50 at a Nuremberg located seller for 599 Euro (around 792 USD). Too bad the voices inside won the fight and whispered "now or never". So I had to order it. Since they give a 12 months warranty and I spend several days a year in Nuremberg it is not really a dangerous decision. First thing I will do is to send it to Leica for a check-up to be sure that it is really ok and usable.
And why all that? Because of all this talk about the M3 in this forum It is indeed a really dangerous place... but I like it very much.

An M3 and a Summicron 50! That combo is as good as it gets. Congratulations!

That's a good deal! Congrats!

Giving in to the voices in your head is always dangerous. I've got them in my head at the moment as well - my bonus came through last week........

It's ALL MY FAULT!

Congratulations. The M3 has the best viewfinder that I have ever used. I had mine CLA'd, and they came back like "heads up displays". Enjoy it.

Gee, I need a bonus too! Enjoy your M3 and Summicron, what a super combination!

I should really change my .sig to "I really want a Leica M3"
