If you want a body that is much easier to use, but takes Leica LTM lenses, look for a Canon 7/7s they are far and away the most usable. I have both a IIIf and a Canon 7 which I have used in the past, so this is based on pertsonal preference: http://www.cameraquest.com/canon7sz.htm Cheers Jayanand On Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 1:22 AM, Barry Hinderks <Barry98 at telus.net> wrote: > A question for the users of the above camera.
