I actually prefer Shueido to Kanto. I'd prefer a clean viewfinder, so you can always find a mint M2 & send it to them instead.

The M2’s camerawest have in stock doesn’t seem like they were CLA’d. there’s a M2 on ebay that was recently CLA’d by DAG and the seller is asking for similar pricing as camerawest. I might pull the trigger on that or on a black repaint m4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matlock Posted March 21, 2023 Share #1174 Posted March 21, 2023 Alright not an M2 but the rather less usual M1. Scale focussing only but with the 35mm and 50mm frames displayed together it is ideal for a 40mm lens. Welcome, dear visitor!
