Advertisement Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Hi giganova, Take a look here I love my M4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
otto.f Posted March 27, 2016 Share #302 Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) This is the set that started my Leica relation, along with a Hector 90mm. Beautiful! and a record in design and esthetics that has never been beaten afterwards. What striked me the most immediately in comparison to Nikon, was that dodging shadows in printing was possible to a high degree without loosing contrast in the darker areas Edited March 27, 2016 by otto.f Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccis Posted April 9, 2016 Share #303 Posted April 9, 2016 I have been using this setup for a bit... Heavy but quite nice. Welcome, dear visitor!

Matlock Posted April 10, 2016 Share #307 Posted April 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) What were you using before, an instamatic? Nice camera btw I have a Kodak Instamatic Reflex which is about 30g more than the M4 . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccis Posted April 10, 2016 Share #309 Posted April 10, 2016 I have a question on my M4 that always intrigued me... Shouldn't it have framelines like an M6? Mine only has 35, 50 and 90 (which I love, btw) but the camera still has the L seal (or whatever it's called) intact which implies the framelines have not been changed on it.

NB23 Posted April 12, 2016 Share #312 Posted April 12, 2016 Met a crazy friend at a cafe, he brought his cameras. People on the street were going crazy asking us if we we're selling them. I said yes, one hundred bucks. You should have seen the guy's face. 2x M4, M2, MP, M7 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colint544 Posted April 22, 2016 Share #316 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) One more of my 1974 M4 in black chrome, but with the current black chrome 50mm Summilux ASPH. It's like they were made for each other. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

CSG123 Posted April 26, 2016 Share #317 Posted April 26, 2016 Late 1966 Leica M4 with 1957 DR Summicron and Kameraleder half case by CSG_Photography, on Flickr Bought this as a 60th birthday present to myself a few years ago. The M4 is from the first batch of 3000 and the '57 5cm Summicron was purchased from Sherry Krauter. Lovely camera but I don't use it often (or my other film cameras) having been taken in by digital. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allicio Posted June 8, 2016 Share #318 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I've just ordered a mint condition boxed m4 body for £899. Couldn't make my mind up between this and a mint M6 ttl .85 which admittedly was more money but is obviously newer. I liked the idea of the old school meter less leica with the older style construction. I'm still shitting myself I've made the right decision though ha!!
