Quite a while ago, I happened to use a M4-P with the 135/4 Tele-Elmar to cover the Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco with aggravation. It was at night with very bright lights. You would not imagine how much I regretted that I did not bring my M3. It was very unpleasant experience with the 135 and NON-M3 Leica.
