[Leica] M4 - M4P - M4-2

[Thinkofcole at aol.com (Thinkofcole@aol.com)]

I have had all three but long ago sold the M4-2 on the advice of Sherry. I  
told her, maybe 10 years ago, that I had picked up a near-mint M4-2 and was  
concerned because I had read in Shutterbug that Bob Shell said the camera 
was  
prone to light leaks. She said that light leaks were the least of the 
problems  
with the M4-2 and went on how bad the camera was on several counts. I sold 
it 
 soon afterward, along with a motor or winder, but kept the lenses and never 
 
regretted it. I have had the M4-P for several years but just picked up the 
M4 
a  few months ago. On the CL, after reading all the favorable comments, I'm 
sorry I  sold it [and the great lenses] even though it was very delicate. 
I'm 
still on  the watch for a 50mm Elmar, f3.5.. I miss the old stuff. --bob
