Why would anyone buy a new IIIf when there are *dozens* of used ones for
sale in everything from user to mint- condition? The new one would probably
2-3x the price of a nice user plus CLA, maybe even more. The O Series was
different in this regard, since it wasn't in competition with the originals.
A new IIIf would be a *hard* sell for Leica.
