Product Description
"The M4 started production in November 1966, as the direct successor of the M3 and M2, featuring framelines for 35 mm, 50 mm, 90 mm and 135 mm lenses in a 0.72 magnification viewfinder. It has the frame counter of the M3, with automatic reset after reloading. The M4 was the last Leica rangefinder of this era to be predominantly hand-built.
Three ergonomic modifications were introduced in the M4:
- an articulating film advance lever, modernised self-timer and frame selection levers
- an angled crank for rewinding the film that replaced the slow to use telescopic knob of the M3
- a faster loading system that does not require use of a removable spool
-
Production of the Leica M4 ceased in 1975. Total production: 47,522 units in silver chrome, 6,775 units in black chrome, 4,889 units in black paint and 31 units in olive green.

This particular M4 is modified to perfectly compatible with Vintage Leicavit MP.
