Indeed a happy anniversary!
Sounds like you've almost gotten it broken in :-)

As I was cleaning my M3 between rolls, I remembered this month is the 37th 
anniversary of me buying this camera (used, but in mint condition, with 50mm 
f/2 
collapsible Summicron and MC meter, for $325.00).  It's pretty much been my 
constant companion ever since.  Nothing else feels such a part of my hand 
and 
eye.  I wish I knew exactly how many rolls I've exposed with it - I used to 
use 
it on the job too, so many, many of my university pictures went through that 
shutter.  


Sure think it was a splendid bargain.
