I noticed on Stephen Gandy's site (CameraQuest) a page referring to M4-P models with "flush M6 viewfinders." The viewfinder on mine is flush with the front surface of the top plate, as opposed to having a raised "ridge" around the viewfinder ... is this what is meant by flush? Mine is serial #1622105, significantly earlier that those listed on his site. Black finish, "Leitz" engraved on top, very little sign of use. I enjoy using the camera (35/2 'Cron, Rapidwinder, Ward Softrelease, carried everywhere), but wonder if I should be if it is some kind of uncommon model. I use my cameras and don't mind so much putting wear on them (I value what they produce), but perhaps I should sell this one before I dent it and replace it with a more common version for daily use. I've sent a message to Stephen Gandy via his site, but received no response. Can anyone here comment on whether this body is any more "valuable" than any other M4-P ... or should I just use it (and use it, and use it) as intended ? Thanks in advance, and thanks also for all the great info posted over that last two years of my lurking :) Bob Farr rfarr@voyager.net
