I wasn't going to wait months for Leica Germany to find out. I traded them back in to the place I purchased them from. In my case, I think it was the film release levers not fully engaging to release the film – there was always too much tension on the film when rewinding. But it could have been a different issue with each, IDK. Edited February 25, 2023 by hdmesa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scratches weren't on just one roll of film nor one film type nor one film manufacturer, but many: CineStill, Kodak, and Fuji. Did you clean the camera ( it was just the M-A or other cameras too?) with a blower before you sacrificed the new film? what did Leice say about it?

I addressed this in another post – didn't want to deal with Leica Germany taking a month to sort it out. Of course I tried a blower. Of course I checked the surface of the pressure plates. Could be the M4-P CLA replaced the pressure plate with one of those from same bad batch that they admit they've been using (per Huss's thread about his M6 scratching).

It's not as dense as I expected given it's brass. The hardest thing to get used to is having a lens with no focus tab again 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirohhhh Posted March 2, 2023 Share #4873 Posted March 2, 2023 All my 12+ cameras are black, including all lenses, and I was never interested in silver versions. But recently, silver becomes more and more appealing to me. Is that the thing that comes with the age? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an age thing - the desire for one's camera gear to match the color of their hair. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
