[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Several weeks ago I requested information regarding an M4P, Chrome, w/M6 windows that I was considering. Many many thanks for all the input regarding the number of these cameras produced, the serial numbers, and information regarding prices. I do appreciate all the help and discussion. One added question regarding the M4P, Chrome, w/M6 windows: I am thoroughly confused by what I have read regarding the subject type camera and PANDA windows. It seems to me I have seen PANDA windows referred to several times regarding both the M4P in question as well as the M6. I have also read somewhere in Leica literature or other publications that PANDA refers to a chrome body that has the Black controls, ie: winding lever, shutter speed dial, and rewind lever. In fact I think I remember seeing a picture or the Chrome camera body with the Black controls. I would certainly appreciate any information you could pass along regarding the correct meaning and reference of the word PANDA. By the way, I purchased the subject M4P and am having a blast using it with my new Leica 35mm 2.0 Asph. Thanks, Spencer Clark
