Subject: [Leica] M3 in Time Magazine

Hello Everyone,
     On the first page of its "The Best Photos of the Year" section, the 
December 18, 2006 issue of Time shows a photograph of a well-used Leica M3.
     The camera has what looks like black tape attached to parts of it. I 
suppose that's for protection. Although I did this when I owned an M2 and an 
M3 many years ago, I had never seen it on any other camera until I saw the 
photo. I found it interesting.
      Also, In the photo you can see a knob that seems to be attached to the 
camera's rewind knob. I suppose this knob was added to facilitate rewinding 
the film in the camera. Again, this was a first for me, one that I found 
interesting.
  Regards,
  Hank
