![]() ![]() The Leica M4-2 was released in 1977 and was similar to a Leica M4 but with a hotshoe rather than a cold shoe (The Leica M2 and M3 also have cold shoes). To take a step back, the Leica M4 was released in 1966 and saw Leica introduce a few new camera features including a film rewind crank to replace the vertical rewind knob of the M2 and M3 (will make rewinding film so much faster!), a new angled film advance lever and faster film loading by removing the need for the separate take up spool (as used in the Leica M2 and M3). The Leica M4-P was in production from 1980 until around 1986 and was based on the earlier Leica M4 camera and followed the Leica M4-2. I bought a black chrome M4-P and it has a 0.72x viewfinder the same as my Leica M6. The Leica M4 -P is a 35mm rangefinder camera like all other analogue Leica M film cameras. I stumbled across to me what seemed a real bargain. It was completely unplanned (as usual) and I happened to have a free hour researching cameras online. 12 months on since my last Leica camera purchase, the Leica M6 Classic, I found myself buying another Leica M film camera. ![]()
