I waited a loooong time, but I just bought my first Leica.
A 1961 M3 in decent, user condition.
Leather's been replaced, strap lugs probably should be, slow speeds are a bit sluggish but optics are completely clear, there are no signs of separation in the finder and the mechanics seem completely correct other than the sluggish 1 and 1/2 second speeds.
Thanks to a very generous loan of a 50mm Summicron-M 50/2 ASPH from my brother-in-law I was able to shoot my first roll through it two days ago and I hope to develop it later this morning.
Now I need to go lens shopping ('cause there's no way he's letting me keep that 'cron!).
I'm going to hate every minute of that!
