In my opinion, that is the best of the Leica cameras. As I recall, the pressure plates of the earlier M-3 cameras was made of a ceramic material but had to be changed to an aluminum plate to avoid static electricity charges across the film. If you have any static electricity charges, you may wish to look into changing the ceramic plate. Good shooting with the M-3. Don R.
