I agree........... but for any M4... not only Midland.  OTOH, Personally, I
like to have a meter built in... so the M6 series is, for me, a better
buy......

I still contend that on the issue of this particular camera, where it was
made is open to some "doubt"....

I would think a nice minty condition black chrome M4 is worth $1K, if built 
by Leitz Midland staffers.
