Pecole Posted December 30, 2016 Share #21 Posted December 30, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) By sure the "button rewind" is the less common of the "standard" M2... M2-M and M2-R are anyway much rarer. Yes, Luigi, the M2-R is quite rare. I remember I had to wait long to find one for my Fontenelle Collection : serial nº 1249689. Here are the images I found in my archives. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Hi Pecole, Take a look here Leica M2X. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
M9reno Posted September 16, 2017 Share #22 Posted September 16, 2017 The last picture cannot be of the same M2-R, since the M2-R (equipped with the M4 loading) was sadly not compatible with the Leicavit MP. Still beautiful cameras, however! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted September 16, 2017 Share #23 Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) I'm even not so sure that the last item bears the "M2 - R" engraving... indeed is another item (see also the retaining plate of the selftimer... holes are in different position) (Pecole's archive of pictures is so huge that some mix is unavoidable... ) Edited September 16, 2017 by luigi bertolotti Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I get very old indeed, I am thinking about the possibility of giving it out to a real connoisseur. Would you be interested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 19, 2017 Share #25 Posted September 19, 2017 I always find it interesting that the M2-R cameras, have higher serial numbers than my very early M4, 1175047. Did they sit around for some time, while Leica was negotiating the cancellation terms of the order, with the US army, before rebranding and selling them as M2-R cameras. How did their price compare with the concurrent M4? Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
