I think they are ugly as sin. Look like a bastardized concoction of left-over spare parts that someone bolted together in their spare time and slapped chrome on. The BD IIIf without self-timer is really good looking, especially with the wider shutter speed dial. But then it appears someone at Wetzlar fed the thing steroids in an uncontrolled experiement, and the hideous result is the IIIg. Rather have a black and nickel II or III any day of the week.
