The MR-4 is a grand meter.  It is easily repaired, quite accurate, and
meshes nicely with the 90mm frameline for close metering.  It is highly
recommended.

However, I would recommend buying a broken one, as these can be had for $50
or so, then sending it off to Quality Light Metric for repair and
calibration.  That will give you a refurbished and accurate meter designed
to Leica specifications to work with your Leica camera.
