Advertisement Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Hi pico, Take a look here I love my M4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest Ansel_Adams Posted June 15, 2014 Share #182 Posted June 15, 2014 I love this camera! One more pic: Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted June 15, 2014 Share #183 Posted June 15, 2014 Another photo of mine. Looking at this photo, I think I should have had the lugs replaced, when CRR did a total overhaul earlier this year. My second favourite Leica after the M240. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

Did CRR replace the vulcanite also? If so, how is their replacement vulcanite compared to the original? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted June 15, 2014 Share #185 Posted June 15, 2014 Lovely camera Wilson! Did CRR replace the vulcanite also? If so, how is their replacement vulcanite compared to the original? The M4 body was my 21st birthday present, bought new from Lizars in Aberdeen. Peter at CRR thinks it is an Aki-Asahi cover. The camera for various complicated family reasons, ended up in my uncle’s hands for some years (he did not know the camera was mine). When he later found whose the camera was, he returned it. He must have had it recovered, as I didn’t. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted June 15, 2014 Share #186 Posted June 15, 2014 Another photo of mine. Looking at this photo, I think I should have had the lugs replaced [...] Someone here did not believe me when I mentioned that one of my M4s lugs were dangerously thin. But it looks like you still have several years left in yours. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gberger Posted June 15, 2014 Share #187 Posted June 15, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) pico - I sent mine back to Leica (US) years ago and had them replace the viewfinder masks with ones from the M2. Best of all worlds, viz., an M4 with M2 attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted June 16, 2014 Share #190 Posted June 16, 2014 I did not think of that when I had the mask replaced earlier this year - blast! I never use a 135 on the M4, so the frame is just an irritation. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted June 19, 2014 Share #192 Posted June 19, 2014 I got my M4-P when the used market didn't like it. It was so inexpensive that I blacked it out right. Mistake me thinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ansel_Adams Posted June 20, 2014 Share #193 Posted June 20, 2014 Guys, there is a separate thread for the M4-P. Lets keep this one focussed on the M4.

Guest Ansel_Adams Posted June 23, 2014 Share #197 Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Soz, my mistake. Didn't know you guys segregated that hard. It was just a suggestion. Seeing as there are already dedicated threads for the M4-2 and M4-P. They are pretty different cameras after ll. The M4/M5 marked the end of an era. The M4-2/P the start of a new one in so many ways.

wlaidlaw Posted July 2, 2014 Share #199 Posted July 2, 2014 Don’t be coy - what is your serial number? I have never quite understood this shyness about numbers. If some crook wants to use my number on an eBay posting - well he could have got it from various websites, which post serial number sequences. I am quite proud of my M4 number, which at 1175047, is the lowest I have ever seen posted. Wilson 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
