I have the following:
Leica M3 twin stroke body w Leica Meter & leather case
Summicron 50mm f2 collapsible lens
Summicron 35mm f2 w goggles lens
Elmarit 90mm f2.8 lens
The camera & 50mm I inherited from my father, the 2 other lenses I added in the 80s.
My problem: I haven't used the camera for 25 years, so it all sits unused in the safe. I moved irrevocably from film to digital ages ago and however much wishful thinking I engage in about 'going back to basics', I know I'm never going to return to film photography.
So should I sell the family heirloom & get a Leica T, which I would use the hell out of I suspect, or hang on to the unused heirlooms as they gather dust?
(Also, if I was to buy a Leica T, could I sensibly (with adapters) use any of the above lenses with it?)
Advice welcomed!
