rknewcomb Posted October 6, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Its my understanding from general information and the instruction book that came with a recently received mint in the box leicavit M, that it is suppose to fit the Leica M4-P. This one just won't go on the camera. I can see no damage to the Leicavit body or my camera body, but it just seems a tiny bit too short in length to go down onto the body at the latch end. My regular baseplate fits on smoothly. Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue in general. thanks, Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lars_bergquist Posted October 6, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2009 It fitted mine very well, except for one thing: The vulcanite covering around the round 'hanging' stud went too far down. Leica fixed it for me. The old man from the Age of he Leicavit MP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if that is the problem. What did they do to fix it? Replace the vulcanite or trim it or what? thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernMan Posted October 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 7, 2009 I had two Leicavit-M with M4-P combinations -- one in chrome and one in black. In both cases, the Leicavit was a "snug" fit. More snug on the M4-P than on an M7 or MP. First time on required distrubing forcefulness. Once on and off a few time it seemed to fit easier. Either that or I got accustomed to the snugness. I used the M-Motor on the M4-P as well, but I don' recall the same tight fit with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
