I found this photo of a wonderfully brassed up Leica M3 with 50mm Summicron lens today. I thought it was just simply to beautiful not to post. If you have a chance check out the link as well, interesting little hot debate about whether Leica camera's are still relevent. My M6s will not brass up like this, maybe I should see if I can get an old M3 brassed body, they are not that expensive and still extremely reliable. The M3 is a meterless camera built in the 1950s-60s.

Update* Oops turns out these things are just a tad expensive! I read today the black body M3s are extremely rare. Guess I will stick with my M6s.
