You might want to look for a Canon rangefinder. They are easier to load and easier to focus. And they are less coveted as collector's items.

I currently have a "user" IIIc body with a yellowing rangefinder. I know the shutter needs cleaning but I don't think the body is nice enough to invest in a CLA. I have 4 very nice Leica LTM lenses which I use with a clear VIOOH viewfinder. I was thinking about investing in a nice IIIg. Since I don't expect to use flash with this rig and I like my VIOOH, is a IIIG overkill? I have a very complete M system plus a bunch of Nikon bodies and lenses including digital. But when I just want to go out and have some fun I grab the IIIc. Any advice? Len _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
