M3 1954-1966
The M3 of 1953 wasn't just a new camera, it was an entire rethinking of what 35 mm cameras should be. It signaled an entirely new level of excellence, not only for Leica, but for the entire camera industry. The M3 was so far advanced for its time that it took other camera companies about FOUR years to offer any real competition - - the Nikon SP. It was kind of like introducing a sports car when the competition was a four door sedan ! Sales took off like no other pro rangefinder, before or since.
