M3 worth much in trade?
 

I've not used my Leica M3 double-stroke in two or three years and I'll soon
bring it in for a checkup. I've only got the normal (i.e., not dual-range)
50mm Summicron f/2. The camera is probably from the early 50s, Summicron is
a later, more modern black-bodied lens. I'm guessing the 80s or so.

I've gotten a bit more interested in photography lately, what with a couple
of Europe trips and a fairly new grandson whose antics I've tied to capture
with a Canon S-40 ditigal compact, but the shutter lag is driving me crazy.

I'm too lazy to go back to film (I enjoy printing digital photos at home),
but I'd like to go to a modestly-priced digital SLR (the Nikon D40, D40X or
even the D60) seem about right for me) that can be, to the extent I wish it,
a point and shoot with potential for 8 x 10s or even 11 x 14s.

I checked out EBay sample M3/Summicron prices and they seem pretty
unblievable. My M3 is in good, reliable working condition and I suspect it
will check out so when I have it examined.

Could there really be enough value in the Leica to trade myself into one of
those Nikons/
