Leica M4 camera body with serial number 1179194 was manufactured by the Ernst Leitz GMBH company in 1967 at their Wetzler, Germany factory, which at the time was famed for making the most premium 35mm film cameras of all time, with quality of materials and finish being at the forefront of the company at that time, being seen as far more important than quantity of models produced. This camera was made in the first year of M4 production and sales, making the stunning condition this camera is in even better. The patina left by the years is beautiful and tells the story of this 57 year old camera and, in my opinion, adds to the character and charm that this compact street shooter brings to our lives. Of course, I’d recommend a CLA as I do with all cameras of this sort of age, but as the videos show, it all seems consistent from hearing the timings and the self timer is working. I haven’t film tested this in such a long time though so please see this as the price and you can get a CLA done with the rest of your budget.


Hard to see on viewfinder photos, but the outer viewfinder glass has some slight marks as shown in photos that do not affect looking through the rangefinder, whilst the actual rangefinder patch seems to have very small zig zagged lines right on the edges of the patch that do not obstruct viewing the contrast and otherwise clear rangefinder system, but they are so faint I couldn’t capture them on the photos despite trying for about 20 minutes. The body has some small dings as shown in the photos, whilst I’d recommend replacing the leatherette as it looks like it has gone a bit brittle in places and parts broken off when used by a previous owner. Shutter curtains look in mint condition and the photos were light tight when used last a while ago (no reason why they shouldn’t be now as there are no holes or problems with shutter curtains).


Please do your own research and view photos and videos (videos will be uploaded asap as the iPhone app does not allow these for some reason) before buying as this is a no returns item so please ensure you are happy with what you see before clicking that buy it now/bid button. See other listings (or message) for other Leica items, especially M9 parts as my M9 had an internal failure that was too expensive to fix, many parts sold already but always worth asking. Also happy to have viewings and conversation about this item beforehand. International buyers welcome, but all export costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Shipping will be a next day service for UK buyers wherever possible, and I will post as soon as possible after the payment has been made (within 3 working days max but usually next day).
