In his book "Private Experience" from 1974 it states on pg 81 that

he mostly used a Leica M3 body for his personal pictures and mainly

a 50mm Summicron f/2 collapsible. He also has a 35mm and 90mm (type

not specified). He uses Tri-X rated at EI 400 most of the time.

Erwitt's recent book "Elliot Erwitt Snaps" indicates that most of

the photos in the book were taken with a well-worn Leica M3 with

50mm lens and Tri-X or HP4 developed in Microdol.

I recently bought a M6TTL LHSA myself. It has been languishing in a

cabinet waiting for me to get the courage to risk having the

beautiful black paint finish have its first blemish. I would not keep

it in mint condition to maximize its resale value simply because I

love it so much I would never sell it anyway. Many on this web site

state regretting selling certain beloved Leicas. Somebody please say

the right words to get me to take that first step and start shooting

with my LHSA everyday!
