[Leica] Pros over here still shootign Leica as their primary tool ?

[s.dimitrov at charter.net (Slobodan Dimitrov)]

Well, just the other day I had a chance to use my IIIa as a  
rangefinder. I needed to measure a number of set distances for a  
shoot. My laser rangefinder and my metal tape measure broke within 10  
minutes of one another. Since I carry my IIIa for my personal BW  
shooting, it became my measuring instrument for that day. I didn't  
take any shots with it that time. Does that count?
