All the Wetzlar threadmount cameras are great day-in, day-out shooters.

If anything, the IIIg is the LEAST attractive prospect for photographers, as
it is the largest/heaviest and the most valuable of the standard models.

By far my favourite is the IIIb, just slightly pre-war. It's the last of the
small chassis Leicas (they got bigger with the IIIc), uninteresting to
collectors, sturdily built. Takes a commonly available SCNOO rapid winder
baseplate, which makes for a great package with a 35mm or (better) a 28mm
lens from anybody.
