Very cool looking. Newbie question: how is the M2 lever better?

That right there is one of my dream cameras.
well - if you paint it black anyway. Nice find.

I personally don't like the plastic tipped lever of the M4-7 and find the M2-3 lever easier to use.
As for better?? It's a matter of taste..

I'm kicking around the idea of having the chrome plating stripped and painting it black.

Very nice Colyn! As if I'm looking at my own M4 😉. BTW, You have a very pretty contamporary Summaron to go with it!! Painting the M4 black would take away from this combo (unless you'd paint the lens too of course).

M4 plus Summaron 35/2.8 is my favorite pairing. Nix the paint job! Wetzlar satin chrome is irreplaceable: even Solms can't make that finish.

How much does that part cost? Is it something that can be done by a non-professional repairsman? I prefer the all metal levers too.
