Leica M4 body, needs service, OUTLET

SKU: 1183261

Condition report:

Leica M4 in need of repair & CLA or to be used for its valuable spare parts. Our technicians have rejected the camera in its current condition because of the following reasons: 1. the 2nd curtain wont show, its jammed or very dry and does not run, might need a curtain replacement. 2. the camera needs a general CLA. 3. missing the left side flash port. For the rest this M4 is in decent condition. Rangefinder arm moves freely and the framelines are still nice sharp and bright. The viewfinder is quite clean as well. Selftimer runs and frameline selector works as well. Top and bottom plate have little / normal wear, no heavy dents or marks. Original leatherette is still there and the black paint on the film door looks very well preserved.

OUTLET products are not tested extensively and are not cleaned to perfection. They come as-is without any warranty.

What’s an OUTLET product?

You are currently viewing an outlet product. All products we sell go through a series of critical testing by our in-house technicians. Items that do not pass these tests get either serviced by us or one of our partner service centers. A product being marked as outlet does not directly mean it’s unusuable. In some occasions we decide to sell something as-is because of various reasons:

  • * The product still is functional, but with remarks or limitations.
  • * The product is mainly aimed at collectors for decorative purposes.
  • * The product is a digital camera or lens, in which we don’t specialize.
  • * The product will need an economically unprofitable repair, but still has many valuable parts or purpose for others with their own repair attempt.

OUTLET items are sold for heavily reduced prices. They are not serviced or cleaned to perfection. They therefore come without any warranty.

Main specs of the Leica M4:

The M4's viewfinder shares the same framelines as the M2: 35mm, 50mm, 90mm and 135mm. Shutter speeds range from 1s to 1/1000th, bulb mode is present. There is no internal electronics, no battery required for its operation. Selftimer and frameline selector levers on front of the body.

The most important upgrade on the M4 was the new style of loading, advancing and rewinding film. This new way of loading film without separate take up spool was regarded much quicker. A new advance crank was designed which can be recognized by its partly plastic tip. Rewinding the film could now be done with the angled rewind lever, in stead of the old style knob of the M2/3, which took much more time.

Leica M4 variants:

Around 60.000 Leica M4 bodies were made, which is quite low compared to the 220.000 of the M3. The standard M4 was taken out of production when the Leica M5 camera was released. Because the M5 camera had some issues which rumoredly almost killed Leica, they re-released the M4 again and named it the M4-2.

This M4-2 camera was lacking a selftimer and has a slightly redesigned inside to make them more affordable to produce for Leica. Rumors say they made the camera with lower quality gears and parts, but this is not really true and it was and still is a beautiful quality camera.

After the M4-2 the M4-P was released, the P standing for Professional. The camera was also lacking a selftimer and was the first Leica M to feature 28mm lens framelines. The M4-P can be recognized by its large red dot Leica logo on the front of the body.

If you rather have a Leica M4 with built in light meter, the M6 is the perfect one for you but these are often double the price.
