Leica M3 question for the experts

[BobYIL]

Stay away from that camera, they tried to overhaul it through mismatching parts. Follow the classified here, time to time there happen some fine M-bodies offered with very reasonable prices and it's always the better way to buy something from a member here. (You need to be patient though )

what a beauty!!!
