Let's see your Leica M

M4 with the latest 50/2.8 Elmar. I love this combination. If only Leica would come out with a collapsable 'cron again. Now, that would be a winner!

Has anyone seen the Ralph Gibson signature leica? Looks like it doesn't have a frameline preview lever like the earliest M3s. He likes not having anything in the way of his fingers while he shoots i guess. Is it possible to remove the self timer and preview levers from an M3 or M2 and still have a flat, flussh body (cover up the holes?)

If I coul do that to an M3 and swap out the frame counter for the M2's external frame counter and perhaps a .58 finder that might be a neat shooting iron......
 
the ralph gibson mp just has a round piece of red leather covering up the hole. i think aki asahi has a covering that doesn't cut out the circle in the first place.
 
What number is that, then?

Whats up with the serialnumber? I know I have seen the larger one before, but I cant remember why it is like that?

Hi, I wasn't aware the bigger written M3 on my camera had any significance, but am interested now, Anybody got the answer to this?
 
The larger number indicates a body assembled in Canada.
