Not the M4, M4-2 and M4-p. The latter two models were the newer generation bodies with completely different finders, new framelines and alloy top covers, not brass like the previous years' M's. Basically they are M6's without meters.

I haven't been able to get any Leica book that says that one was superior to another, but have heard anecdotal information that (1) the M4 was best built of all Leica M bodies [I think the current MP gets that award], and (2) either the M4-2 or the M4-P is not up to M2, M3, or M4 quality. The M4 seems to be the most coveted of the three, but that might be because it is a better "collector".
