The main reason I gave up on the IIIf was that my eyes and glasses just don't perform like they did when I was younger. The small RF/VF windows are a pain for me. I bought a Bessa R2a to use when I need a rangefinder camera. The old Volvos just keep on running. We bought one for our grandkids to use in learning to drive. They are boxy, but the kids appreciated the wheels, and we felt better about their safety.
