jan, I got lazy and assumed that by now most people voting in the semi finals had already looked at the photos of the cameras in the initial round. I actually just tried - but can't seem to change the poll (to add links).
SO - I urge EVERYONE to post photos in the SEMI FINAL threads promoting cameras that they feel strongly for. Lobby for those votes!
But..I'll see what I can do about adding the links in the text body right under the poll. Hold on.....

Well, six cameras in total will go to the final...three from this group..and three from the other... I will however say that the chance that both the M3 and the M2 will be amongst those six cameras seem pretty big at this time...

With a 109 votes in...the race is on....
Only three cameras will move on.....
Right NOW these three cameras are...
* Leica M3 with 20 votes
* Leica MP with 19 votes, and
* Canonet QL G-III with 15 votes.
(The Zorki has 13 votes and is just behind the Canonet).
At this point anything can still happen.
Please get your votes in - and remember: Don't knee-jerk vote on the camera you happen to have/love - take some time to look at all the entries and consider what camera really has the most good looking design.....

I voted for the Lieca IIIc, it's one of my favorite walk around cameras. I also have the Zorki 3M and the Canon QL III which I also like and use.

Gimme a break. The M3 and MP are basically the same freakin' camera. How about some originality, folks??

The visual difference between the M3 and MP is the same as the IIIc and IIIf...a self-timer lever. I'm going to go shoot or do something else productive.

I guess we all agree that silver cameras a pretier than black ones. An I also belive that silver cameras call less attention becouse they look older and for that reason less usefull.
