John's work has pleased me. The new covering is griptac charcoal. Another option I like is aki asashi's 4034 pebble emboss --- I have used it on other Ms.

Thomas, that looks super. What happened to the engraving on the front of the top plate?

When its black chrome and nickel were stripped off, John used a metal filler to level the engravings on the front plate and then smoothed them flat before beginning the painting.

Just picked up a new in box M4-P and when compared against my M6 Classic have noticed the VF resolution is superior in the M6. I know my left eye requires about -0.5 dioptric adjustment (just have not bothered to get a new specs yet) and in fact this is what the M6 uses as a default (so looking through my M6 gives a sharper view of the world then just looking through my specs alone...ha!)....what does the M4-P use as a default. I suspect the effective diopter correction was zero for this camera.

The rangefinder clarity in those old cameras will improve with a cleaning.

I've had mine now for several weeks, and have put several rolls of both colour and black & white film through. I'm yet to develop any, but that's only because I want to build up a few so that processing is a little more cost effective.

 

I really love using this camera - and the M8 has a hard time proving its worth over the M4-P when I'm out and about with both. I far prefer the feel of the 4, it's the perfect size and weight. The slimmer body is just nicer in every respect to hold. Frame lines suit the Summicron-C 40mm it usually has on too - more-so than when it's on the M8.

 

Being in the fantastic condition it is, it's a forever keeper.

Nice, with a new lens? Where is the Konice lens?

[mikemix]

hihi, hi Istvan

The Konica Hexanon-M 35/2.0 is on the Konica Hexar RF I also got.

I will test both lenses together some day.

The Cron is new and I could change lenses (50/2.5) without losing money.

Next weekend I'm staying in Paris. Can't wait.

I only have to buy an orange or yellow filter.
