Leica M4-2

{"overview":"The Leitz M4-2 is a 35mm rangefinder camera using the Leica M bayonet mount, introduced in 1977 and produced at Leitz Canada in Midland, Ontario until 1980. All prices quoted here are UK saleroom hammer results and therefore wholesale — what the M4-2 sells for before buyer's or seller's commission, not a retail asking price.","buying_guide":"Inspect the rangefinder patch for contrast and vertical alignment, check the cloth shutter curtains for pinholes, and confirm that all shutter speeds — especially 1s and 1\/1000s — run cleanly, since slow-speed drag is the most common service issue. Frame lines, film-advance feel and the baseplate locking key should be checked, and buyers should distinguish between the standard chrome and black-chrome production bodies and the scarce Gold, Olive, Panda, Safari prototype and Cut-Away variants, which command substantial premiums.
