Can I please get some advice / guidance on an issue. I recently bought an m4p 1 week ago. The first roll was a brand bought caninister and loaded using the quick loading technique (guide end into tulip, put bottom plate on and good to go). The second roll was a home bulk load affair. I think I didnt have a clean cut on the end of the roll, so when I loaded into the tulip, it has 'snagged' on the spring in the centre. I had to take the roll out as after taking 2 shots I noticed that the film wasnt feeding correctly. The problem was that as i pulled the film out of the m4p, is stretched the spring. So now that I am trying to load film, the spring doesnt allow the film to sit in the tulip and load onto the sprockets. (see bottom left hand corner of photo 1. Photo 2 shows that if a lend the end of the film to sit outisde of the tulip, the film loads, so no faults with the sporkets or loading mechanism Photos 3 shows a work around where i cut away half the width of the end of the roll, so it feeds into the tulip above the spring, whilst this does work, its not a long term solution. Does anyone have any ideas how to re-set the spring?? looking down inside the centre coloumn of the tulip, I can see a screw, but Im loathed to start exploring a fix. I have googled Leica M4p repair manual, but havent found anything. Any advice would be kindly received.

Hello, I would like to buy a wide angle but don't want to bother with an external viewfinder. Is this combo working well? Voigtlander 25mm + M4P. Do I need an external viewfinder or is it alright to use the 28mm frame of my M4P? And also, will the 28mm frame be choosen by the camera for this lense? Thanks for your answers. Philippe
