Just by way of explanation for some of the comments. Yes, I agree this image seems to have the quality of medium format. I think that 'feel' springs from several factors: the subject matter is quite uniform in reflectivity and texture; the slanting light varies by only 2 stops; the film is quite fine at 200 asa; the lens is made by Ernst Leitz; the shutter speed was four times the focal length; the image was zone focused; and, the M3 can be squeezed so gently to fire the shutter. And I was there. That is the real secret ... ƒ8 and be there. :-)
