I am having great fun using it and it makes a nice compact package with the lens collapsed. But if your main concern is safety, then perhaps you should carry an Olympus Mju 2 instead of a Leica in those situations. It is far cheaper, has a nice 35mm lens and is weatherproof. A good Leica IIIf will not be that much cheaper than an M2. Nathan Carlos Blanco wrote: > hello, > I am thinking of buying a screw mount leica (esp. of the III serie).
