Photos with the Leica M3.

Some really nice and inspiring photography here!

And such diverse results, proves that a 1950s film camera with only 3 frame lines in its rangefinder ain't so limited...

I bought my Leica M3 here on RFF. One of the reasons I bought it was so that I could use my Leica 21mm 3.4 Super Angulon lens, as you can't use that lens on the M6. But I found I really like using my M3 and actually will grab it instead of my M6. Most of the time I use my M3 with my Nikkor SC 50mm 1.4 in LTM but this image was taken with a much wider lens. I took it at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Oregon and used the M3 and the 21mm 3.4 Super Angulon. Velvia 50 film.

DRs aren't really known for their color rendition ... which is why this shot is unique... gorgeous work

I agree. Here is some work with a Summicron 35/2 Type 1 of the same era.

I bought M3 in 2011, in tempting of using it with 50mm lens.
However, I found out that I haven't used it as much as I expected, but the M2 because I shoot 35mm over 90% of time.
Then I sold it early this year.
Still, It's a great camera, especially for 50mm focal length lens.
