>>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.
