That way people interested in M4-P's could read about & see more of them. Best Regards, Michael Edited April 17, 2023 by Michael Geschlecht Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike S Posted June 5, 2023 Share #308 Posted June 5, 2023 Thought I'd introduce this little puppy. Feeling the urge to shoot some film for the first time this century my chum @pippy pointed me in the direction of this. Having shot professionally with a trio of M6, M4-P and M4-2 back in the 80's & 90's it was like riding a bike, amazing how the muscle memory remains. Couldn't run to the KoB 35 I had back in the day but I'm actually loving the Summaron. Thin T-E 90 and a ZM 50 lurking in the background for standard and long duties. I've always been a user rather than a collector but it seems this is actually quite an interesting body, chrome but not an anniversary model and a flush window. Serial no dates places it around 1984 so I'm guessing its fitted with the M6 style finder. Anyway, details like that apart, I'm having a great time with it and hope to start adding a few images in the relevant threads. 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! I have a silver, non-anniversary M4-P, too. Yours is the only other one I’ve seen. As I understand it, only hundreds were made. Mine is in great condition, as it appears yours is. Mine also has a recent DAG service so is ready to go the long run. I’ve been using digital more lately; time to get some film into mine. Will probably pair it with my contemporary 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH or 50mm v.3 Summicron. Edited June 6, 2023 by rgeorge911 typo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted June 6, 2023 Share #312 Posted June 6, 2023 I forgot that the 135 framelines are less visible inside 35 with M4-P. For a while that I don't use one, I just took one out to appreciate feeling the real vulcanite * 🙂. Maybe I'll use M4-P more these days. * I think M4-P was the last Leica M with real vulcanite, ending since 1984. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giofre Posted June 20, 2023 Share #315 Posted June 20, 2023 Hi everyone! I also recently bought a Leica M4-P. It is paired with a Voigtlander Color Skopar 35mm lens and i have a doubt... The frame in the viewfinder doesn't change by itself, but i have to do it manually by moving the frame selector. I have seen in some videos that with Leica lenses the frame is set automatically. Is everything normal or does my m4p have problems? Thank you all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its VM type, this would select automatically the 35mm framelines along with 135mm field (35+135 pair). If the lens is screwmount + M adapter, the M adapter is to be replaced.

Yes the lens is VM type but the frame is not automatically selected... I have seen some videos of leica m4p with this lens mounted and it seems that the selector remains stuck on the 28mm even on those... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giofre Posted June 21, 2023 Share #318 Posted June 21, 2023 I was completely wrong. I confused the 35mm frame with 28mm. Everything is OK! Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add that M4-P was the first M to show 3 pairs of framelines, 28+90, 35+135, confusing 50+75 this first bothered me but I learned to see the 75 brackets as framing aids with 50mm lenses, to center OR not my framings.

69xchange Posted June 21, 2023 Share #320 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Is it only my m4-P or does anyone else’s M4-P have weak contrast in their rangefinder patches? Edited June 21, 2023 by 69xchange Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
