Leica M4 Chrome. Serial number in the 1,210,000 range, manufactured in 1968/69. The Leitz product code is 10400.
Equipped with a rapid loading system, a crank-style film advance, and built-in brightline frames for 35mm, 50mm, 90mm, and 135mm. The M4’s modern style, carried through to the current Leica M-A, offers a perfect balance of design and functionality.
This unit preserves its original look, including the vulcanite covering. It has been meticulously serviced to ensure smooth and enjoyable operation, making it a clean and reliable M4.
A minor scuff is visible on the top cover, with a few light marks on the baseplate, but there are no prominent scratches or damage, leaving the camera in excellent overall condition. The vulcanite’s texture remains well-defined, offering a smooth and comfortable grip.
Overhauled in January 2025, the film advance, dials, and levers operate with a satisfying feel. The viewfinder is exceptionally clear, with a sharp, high-contrast rangefinder image.
Perfect for practical use.
