    Great price; great camera.

    Delighted with this M3. It works as advertised; smooth shutter, clear optics, easy to focus. Minor blemishes on the case, also as advertised. Great price for a great camera.

    A Most Regretful Purchase

    The camera had more scratches and dings than in the photos. Appearance was less than satisfactory. The slit in film take-up spool was tight and there was difficulty in inserting the film. There was difficulty determining film advance as the film advance indicator is not working. The shutter speeds do not seem to be accurate. The rewind mechanism does not work well. It stopped halfway through and on checking half the film was still not rewound so causing accidental exposure of the film. The film then was rewound with great difficulty. The film is still being developed so image quality cannot be commented on.

    50 year-old classic that works like new...

    For anyone still using film, or thinking about using film again (or for the first time...), all those pros out there who say the Leica M3 is still the best 35mm camera in the world are right. This thing is built with a precision and attention to detail that almost makes my M6 seem rough, by comparison. Smooth, quiet, precise...you couldn't ask for more. If you can find a lightly used M3 that has recently been serviced by a top mechanic, you will be very happy and have access to thousands of equally great lenses. The large, bright viewfinder of the M3 is the best and most accurate of any Leica rangefinder ever built, letting that legendary Leica glass perform at its very best.

    Not "A Classic" but "The Classic"

    The Leica M3 is widely considered not only the finest camera ever produced by Leica, but the finest camera ever produced. Or, the finest mechanical object ever produced. Take that with a grain of salt, read the reviews pro and con and decide just how much hyperbole is involved. One data point, however, is telling. Almost sixty years after the M3 hit the scene, Leica's latest film camera, the Leica M-A, is as close to a complete duplicate of an M3 as they were able to produce in 2014. IMHO it falls short, at least in the .72x rangefinder, but it is a good try for "only" $4,200 or so. Or, get the real thing, a high-end M3, for a quarter of that. 'Nuff said - do your homework, come to your own conclusions. I love mine.

    Leica M3

    The Leica M3 is a standard for rangefinder cameras. Excellent reviews can be found on the Internet, and there are different opinions about the Double stroke (DS) and Single stroke SS) [these terms refer to the film advance lever]. The most important criterion for any camera is the condition, and if the camera has been CLAed (Clean, Lubricated, and Adjusted) by a reputed service person. Keep in mind that a poorly done CLA is worse than no CLA. Like most highly regarded cameras, Leica makes all their cameras backward compatible, and the M3 can use the latest lenses from Leica; there are other companies that make compatible (and less expensive) lenses for the M3. Some limitations exist with the M3, e.g., the viewfinder is geared for three types of framelines (hence the 3 in M3); a separate ...
