October 1959.

The M3DS is 1957, M2 is 1958 (first regular production batch), and the M3SS is 1960.
The Leica IIIF is a converted IIIc, probably 1946 or 47. The CL is a young whippersnapper from the '70s.

I have an M2, that I chose to keep over the M3. No regrets about the choice, just about the M3 part.

The 1946/47 run was 40,001; all IIIc's. They go from 400,000 to 440,000. There may have been some IIIc's between the (approximate) 397,000 and 400,000 range but the book I have isn't too clear about them.

Cause I have used it and the M6 a lot and have gotten used to the .72 finder. When I started shooting with the M3 again, it took some time to adjust. I figured I didn't need another variable to account for. That, plus it just had a CLA, shutter and frameline replacement with DAG last year.
You, on the other hand, are used to 1x finders on the P, and now on the ZI.
I also have been shooting more 35mm.

Yep, I figured as much, Raid. They started at 700001, at least according to Gandy's List

1954. Of course it didn't really look anything like this when it left Wetzlar

must be freudian...
