Leica M4 (Single Stroke) + Summaron 35mm F/3.5 | CLA'd

The Leica M4 is the camera many Leica shooters consider the high point of the mechanical M: the M2's viewfinder and 35mm framelines, the M3's build, and two things neither had, a rapid-load film system that finally did away with the removable spool and an angled rewind crank that rewinds in seconds. Produced from 1967 to 1975 in far smaller numbers than the M3, it was built mostly in Wetzlar (late bodies were assembled in Midland, Canada), and it remains a favorite of street and documentary photographers who want a 35mm-frameline body with no electronics anywhere in it. This M4 has been CLA'd and professionally refurbished, making it an exceptional everyday shooter. The rangefinder patch is bright and contrasty, the viewfinder is clear, and the shutter speeds have been calibrated across the range. The single-stroke advance is smooth and the rapid-load system works as it should. The Summaron 35mm f/3.5 has been serviced, is free of haze and fungus, and is ready for everyday use. It is a compact, contrasty lens with the classic Leica rendering. The camera has a red highlight and a brass shutter button cap. A truly iconic Leica setup that is fully functional, serviced and tested, and backed by a 6-month warranty.
