[Leica] Writing on my M4-P

[dlridings at gmail.com (Daniel Ridings)]

My mistake. I didn't realize that there was a special set-up for
writing on the body. I've never seen an M4-P and just assumed that
backs were like the others.

I used to use the flash-shoe method. But I kept dropping the box-ends.

I'm a little silly. I carry a roll of masking tape (about 1/2 inch)
around with me. I write little notes on it and then transfer it from
the base-plate to the roll when I've finished taking it. Then I rip
off more tape and key it to the next roll I load. I don't really need
it for reminding me what film is in the camera, I use so few types,
but to key rolls to my notebook.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'ld like to see an M4-P someday. I
keep forgetting the distinguishing marks between M4-P and M4-2 etc. I
lost track after the M5.
