This camera has been recently serviced by Camera Solutions but due to the high speed shutter capping issue we cannot offer a warranty on this camera
Introduced in 1966, the Leica M4 is considered by many to be one of the best Leica M cameras ever produced. Like the M3 and M2 that came before it, the M4 features a combined viewfinder/rangefinder window, a hinged back door for easy loading and a quiet, rubberized cloth curtain focal plane shutter. The Leica M4's viewfinder has four sets of frame lines for focal lengths of 35mm, 50mm, 90mm and 135mm. The camera is entirely mechanical - no battery required - but lacks an integral light meter.
Important notes: This camera shows slight shutter capping at its two highest speeds that cause slight underexposure on the edge of the frame. This can be visible when photographing solid colors such as blue sky. This camera has been serviced several times to remedy the issue but due to worn internal parts the curtain travel times cannot be fully corrected at the highest speeds. See item images for sample scans of frames shot at 1/1000. This camera is in great working order at all speeds under 1/500 and is freshly cleaned and lubricated internally. It also has brand new shutter curtains.
