Fernmelder Posted September 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 21, 2008 I will try to make some nice shots of my M4 tomorrow, so that I can participate here. Nice M4, Gabor.

richie Posted September 21, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 21, 2008 OK. Here's my faithful companion for the last 10+ years...I also used a pair of M3s for many years, but have now simplified to just one M6 TTL body with a 35mm Summicron ASPH lens. Welcome, dear visitor!

svante Posted September 21, 2008 Share #7 Posted September 21, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) After having played around with the MP á la carte configurator for a while I knew what camera I wanted - a black chrome M4! I found one for a reasonable price at the LP-Foto auction in Stockholm. It was not perfect. There were marks from the strap, as you can see, and also bright-marks from a Leica-Meter. The “blemishes” are actually an advantage as I would feel uncomfortable “ruining” a collectible camera by carrying it around taking pictures. I managed to burn a hole in a shutter curtain so the camera went to Solms for a repair. Apart from new curtains it now also has bright-lines for 75mm lenses as it was discovered that there was balsam separation in the viewfinder. I love to use the 75mm Summilux and regard the “upgrade” as an advantage even though it is a departure from the original state of the camera. The picture shows the camera just after it returned from Solms with a version IV 35mm Summicron mounted. I have since fitted a leather strap from Luigi of Leicatime. It is beautiful, but not just for looks. I normally hold my cameras so that the strap falls between my index and middle fingers and the soft leather is much more comfortable than most other straps. I own a number of very fine cameras in almost any format you can think of (including other Leicas) but the black chrome M4 is definitely my most used camera, and the one that gives me the most joy. The lenses that are most frequently mounted on the camera are the v. IV 'cron and a 50mm Zeiss C Sonnar. With respect to film I am now drifting towards TMY-2. I guess I love this camera.

Guest maddoc2003jp Posted September 22, 2008 Share #12 Posted September 22, 2008 Wow !! So many nice photos of different M cameras already :) I have a favorite so far, the black chrome M4 ! About the VF frame lines, did Leica just add a different set of frame-line masks or did they swap the VF ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBA Posted September 22, 2008 Share #13 Posted September 22, 2008 Indeed, I'm encouraging you to indulge. By the way, I notice your MPs have black shoes and shutter surrounds. I didn't know those were available even with the A La Carte program. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RITskellar Posted September 22, 2008 Share #14 Posted September 22, 2008 By the way, I notice your MPs have black shoes and shutter surrounds. I didn't know those were available even with the A La Carte program. You're right, they're not. It was a special request I made to Leica at the time I ordered them, without any extra cost or hassle. I didn't do that for the black paint MP, only the black chromes, although all of them got black advance lever retaining rings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

svante Posted September 22, 2008 Share #16 Posted September 22, 2008 Maddoc2003jp, Regarding the VF frame lines; only the masks were changed. I specifically made sure that the whole assembly would not be changed into something later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
