The only main difference - no meter. I used to have one, bought new in
1986. It had a somehow fogged viewfinder and it took Leica two tries, a
trip to Germany (for the camera only :-)) and about 18 months to "un-fog"
it. I prefer the bright line frames of M4P over M6, though. Also, the
quality seemed a little better than M6, e.g. heavier base plate. So watch
out for the fog :-)!
