This is a late M4-P with only one sync connector.

The camera was upgradet with a MP-Finder.

So this camera is a M4-P-MP ;-)

Hey fellow M4-P user, I have a problem with my beauty and could use some advice. When I use my camera at shutter speeds lower that 1/15s, after I click the crank becomes stuck and refusing to wound the film. However, this problem is solved when I turn the shutter speed dial back to 1/60s and it cranks properly again. Haven't had a chance to develop the photos from these situations yet, so I'm not sure what the result looks like. Anyone have any idea what's the problem? Should I just send it in for CLA?

 

Thanks in advance,

Did I mention that I love my M4-P?

Here she is, sitting on my first book!

By the way: She took any single picture in there...

Hi,

 

Sounds like your slow shutterspeeds are sticking. You may need to have a CLA, clean lubricate and adjust done to your M4-P.

 

regards

 

Seconded, the lube in the slow speed escapement is probably waxy, the only thing you might do is to leave in cool part of airing cupboard for 24 hours and then run the 1/15 for 100 shots, then 100 1/8s, etc.,... that might save the day, but you would be on borrowed time. FIrst cool day of autumn...

 

Don't use 1/15 - 1 second is other option, & that is probably how you got to where you are now.

That's the last pic I took of my beloved M4-P / 50mm Summicron combo...

I used a V-LUX1.

Thanks for watching :) .

Quite a while ago I confessed, I had no clue how to

upload a photograph here. This has changed, and here we

go with my M4-P from 1984/ 1985.

 

When the M6 came along this beauty went out of business ...

 

 

Best

Almost missed the M4-P thread :rolleyes: Not spectacular for anyone here having used it for so long, but a new joy in my silly household. Black chrome M4-P with Elmarit 28mm f/2.8 asph lens.
