I use my IIIf BD with 50mm Summicron, Nikkor 28mm f/3.5, Nikkor 35mm f/1.8,
Nikkor 85mm f/2, Enna Lithagon 85mm f/1.5, and Elmar 90mm f/4.  Since
85-90mm is my favorite focal length, I wish I had a IIIg so a separate
viewfinder wasn't needed.

I was just shooting racing sculls on the river last Saturday and overheard
two guys comparing megapixels on their digital P&S.  Then one said, "I hope
this battery doesn't run out; I don't want to have to walk back to my truck
and miss something."

I couldn't resist saying, "I'm using a 53 year-old, 20 megapixel camera
that doesn't even use batteries."
