Hello all, I'm interested in working out some history about my M4 which I purchased about 23 years ago. Here's an image of the camera top plate: http://aussiescan.com/jefflewis/M4.jpg The serial number shows it as one of 100 cameras built in 1967 Leica Serial Numbers: M's Sorted by Type 4/27/1967 M4 ELC 1178001 1178100 100 Apparently the ELC represents Ernst Leitz Canada. The camera is clearly marked Wetzlar Germany. So my questions are: Was it made in Canada or Germany? It it any more valueable as it's from such a small batch? Any help, ideas or other interesting historical information is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff ps: here's another photo of my treasured camera: http://aussiescan.com/jefflewis/Leica.jpg

Hi, I was wondering, is it possible to diy repaint the serial numbers? I have a chrome M3 but there was some black paint missing at the Leica logo and other parts. What is the best way to repaint it? I thought maybe use a fine permanent marker and follow the inscription? Ideas? Thanks
