This is a contemporary of the M3...and I still like to carry it as my "pocket" camera. - - |As far as shutters are concerned, Seiko is no longer in the shutter business, |which leaves only Copal. Imagine, the entire camera industry must now by |their shutters from the same source. Copal does not make the cloth focal |plane shutter as used by Leica.
