Subject: [Leica] Hypothetical Trip question: M3 Black Paint & Pre-Asph Summilux Or IIIG & Current Summincron in LTM

M3 painted last year? Why? Yet the M3 with a 50mm is a great working
tool. The IIIG in the photo is a treasure for collectors, could be a
working tool but it will loose value if used seriously.  Show us the
IIIG when it arrives. Heck get a loan and keep both!
