The M2 like the M3 also has the slower to use film take up spool and rewind knob which are not ideal if working quickly. The M2 like the M3 does not have a hotshoe so I can’t use it with flash triggers and off camera flash. (I have just used the entire M2 viewfinder field of view as 28mm to guesstimate to date). The Leica M2 viewfinder does not have 28mm framelines for accurate framing with the Leica Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH. Leica M4-P Leica red dot is positioned on the front right side of the camera rather than front centre to hide the adjustment screw.The Leica M4P is said to suffer from flaring in the viewfinder (the same as the Leica M6)(I don’t remember experiencing many issues with my M6).the older Leica M3 and M2) but is the same viewfinder as the Leica M6 Leica M4 P has a “cluttered” viewfinder with too many framelines (vs.Leica M4P lightmeter? No, but is otherwise it’s similar to a Leica M6 so why not just buy a M6.The Leica M4-P was built in Midland, Canada not Germany to save cost (with an exception to those cameras made in the last year of production when production was moved back to Wetzlar, Germany in 1986 before being replaced by the Leica M6).

It was completely unplanned (as usual) and I happened to have a free hour researching cameras online. 12 months on since my last Leica camera purchase, the Leica M6 Classic, I found myself buying another Leica M film camera.
