M4 yay

[varjag]

Just got back from the store with a nice chrome M4 Set me back about 800-820 USD (depending on day's exchange rate). Clean sharp finder, sound shutter, smooth wind. Nice cosmetics too, just a piece of vulcanite near strap lug peeled off and bright marks on baseplate. The finder is a delight, long time Contax/Kiev users will understand me

I'm really looking forward to using the camera.. hope it will become my constant companion.

Now to get some 50 for it, or a Contax->M adapter, whichever comes first..

Congratulation! And a pretty good price too!

Before Contax -> M adapter arrives, you can master in pinhole shooting using bayonet cap pp

Nice! congrats on an M4. I am sure it will become your favourite camera.

Thanks folks Yep, I'm certain I'll like it.. everything feels really in place when I hold it.

Vadim, the thought of pinhole crossed my mind but I don't have a body cap yet

I've got M6 and M4 bodies, if I sell it'll be the M6. M4 is my favorite Leica of all.

My next M-body will be the M4.

Great, it is reassuring to know this model is favorite of many

Oh, and as an icing on the cake I got 6 month store warranty on the camera. It's been CLAd recently tho, so shouldn't be necessary..
