I did it again. Well, actually I've never done a Leica restoration this size, but like with my M8 and M9 the leathering was an important step towards a great result.

Alright, let's face it, by now I'm completely into the Leica Range-Finder world, and so it was a natural step buying a classic film M at some point. Over the last months I watched all online platforms for good offers. From ebay, to Meister Camera , and even Reddit I compared offers of M3, M2, M4, M4-2 and M4-P and quickly got a feeling of differences, conditions and price tendencies.

Finally, I found an offer I was interested in, not because it was the perfect camera without any marks or without any issues, but it was a project I could handle myself, learn about the camera, and completely make it to my camera... and yes, the price good and so contacted the owner.



It was a Leica M2 from 1959 without self-timer 😍
