The Canon 7 is quite often in use, it's so robust (the meter even works accurately), the P usually stays in a cabinet - it's the actual camera shown in HPR's book "Leica Copies" complete with the accessory meter. The IIIG will be going to the local Leica doctor next week ((Kielgas in Hannover, reputed to be the best camera repair shop in Germany when it's a mechanical camera that needs repairing) I just hope it won't be too expensive, though it will probably be about a third of the price of sending it to Solms,and I have the advantage of being able to pick it within 15 minutes of it being ready. In addition to these: Bessa-L (twice), a Bessa-R and screw mount lenses from 12mm to 135mm (CV, Leica and Canon), the Bessas go along on long hikes because they're so light, the IIIG gets used because it's such a gorgeous piece of equipment.
