A Tessar is still a tessar. Rescued from a T4 point & shoot and put in an M mount by Mr Miyazaki. Here is a test print. No filter. Kodak Tri-X in Pyrocat HD. iPhone photo of a cold light print developed in Formulary BW65. The tiny lens still shows that wonderful tessar tonal separation. Thanks to Bellamy at JapanCameraHunters, for brokering the conversion. Definitely my favourite minimalist walk-around lens

From adding a logo to an M2 to covering the logo on an M4-2... I'm sure there's a thesis in there somewhere...

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm looking in to getting the slides and negs scanned at high quality so I can post them in the critique section.

Here is mine when I received, it was pristine almost. Now ... it is another story 😀 Not that I'm not careful with it but since I got it is the only camera I use pretty much, so it is getting some mileage done.

I see a lot of M4-2's with the plastic insert in the frame lever missing. Mine actually had a small fragment of plastic left, but i see a lot with it missing. I'm tempted to make a small wooden insert myself.

I looked in the beginning to get that part so the camera would look brand spanking new, but I couldn't find it by itself. Also, I don't really care now. I rather get an extra thumb rest in the film advance lever. I replaced the one that was on the camera after the original one cracked when it got caught up in my bag. I saw on ebay I can get some very cheap.

I think if i changed the wind lever i'd try and get an M2 style

I changed only the plastic on it, didn't have the right tool to take the lever apart. I looked for an MP style lever since they are more durable but 1.- they don't have them in black chrome and 2.- the only one I was able to find was silver and they were asking $120 😱
I got an M6 replacement (same as in the M4-2) for something around $40 (can't remember the exact price).

They do make that lever in black chrome as my M-A has one. Strangely enough it doesn't have the MP style lever for the rewind, I would switch that lever if I really cared that much haha.

Two black chrome wind levers ? For free? How who do we call ?

I was actually looking for the white plastic inserts for the levers on my black chrome M4, but Leica sent me 2 black ones instead, the ones for the (silver) chrome M4. I believe they are the same as the one on M4-2?
I didn't want to put the black ones on my black chrome M4 so I ordered new ones from DAG instead. $10 each is pretty steep but its definitely worth it IMO. Make such a better look for the camera.
