Leica M4-2 1480505

This Leica M4-2 #1480505 is generally pretty nice. The film door is missing half of the vulcanite, so I rate it cosmetically at (8+) condition. The advance is smooth. The finder is clean and clear and the rangefinder is bright and accurate. The shutter is accurate at all settings. The advance lever has been upgraded to the modern MP type.
