i went for no. 3 when faced with these choices myself i did last a couple of years but eventually the TV tube aesthetic lost. from the gold-sprayed condenser heaven i fell onto the canadian clunker... and my pictures did not suffer one whit

incidentally, i looked into the M3 at a camera show this morning--i laughed, no, no going back, death to TV tube!

The M3 eyepiece rounded corners are reverence to the Ur Leica and visual culture of those days.

The front is rectangular but eyepiece is circular and kinda crops the corners when You look thru, its a feature that many other legendary cameras have.
