The Leica M3, what can you say about this fabulous camera, well lets start with the build quality, no plastic here just solid material, just get one in your hands and you will know what I mean, smooth wind on and whisper quiet shutter, beautiful viewfinder, then there are the lenses, now if you have this camera you will have to have the f2 50mm Summicron probably the best lens ever made, again no plastic and who needs auto focusing when you have a brilliant rangfinder.I could go on and on about the Leica M3 but if you want a camera to last you a life time this is the camera for you, so try Ebay there are plenty available thats were I purchased mine.

for a leica user, m3 is a must-have item. it functions fully mechanically, so it does not take battery. as it was made half a century ago, so there are only few that are in perfect shape... anyways, it was first m model leica introduced, and it is wonderful. but i would not recommend it to beginners, because the viewfinder and the image it takes shows a little difference in framing, and you need to measure the light/exposure with additional device. anyways, it is greaT for me.
M3 double stroke is a classic film leica range finder; great particularly for 50mm focal length lenses with large viewfinder. no light meter, fully mechanical and definitely not difficult to load IMO.

Much easier to use than my Leica iiic. Great German engineering. The TTArtisan 35mm is surprisingly sharp for the cost.

This camera is very valuable one. There are everything . But this is very old .And so I think that I have to overhaul it to use. After that I want to use it next trip.

There's nothing I can say about a Leica M3 which hasn't been said more eloquently by someone else, so I'll keep this short:- An M3 feels like precision scientific equipment, amd rock solid too. Image quality is wonderful though a Summicron, with a really classic 'look' to candid portraits. Once you've used one, everything else feels a bit disposable by comparison. If you can afford it, this is an object you can enjoy using while it appreciates in value - they don't make things like this any more!
