My film camera #1

僕のフィルムカメラ紹介シリーズ第一回目は、Leica M4-Pの紹介です。
Hello everyone. Today, I am going to start a new series of introducing my film cameras, and the first camera I would like to introduce is Leica M4-P

人気がなくてもいいじゃないか
It doesn't matter if the camera is not popular
人気がないM4-P。それが僕のメインのフィルムカメラです。人気がないLeicaだからこその利点があります。”状態の良い物が多い”。これに尽きます。実用派としては、カメラは使う物。なので、”コンディションが良い。そして財布にも優しい。”がベストなのです。フィルムの巻き上げレバーの感触やシャッター音などは問題ではありません。ちゃんとフィルムが巻き上げることができて、シャッターが切れれば問題ありません。前にM2を使っていましたが、確かに巻き上げもスルスルっとスムーズで、とても気持ち良いです。シャッター音も小さい。でもねその差は写真には関係ないんですよね。
It is said that Leica M4-P is seen as unpopular camera, but this is my main film camera.
I think that there is an advantage point which is that there are many Leica cameras that have good condition because it is not popular Leica.
As a practical person, I think the camera is a tool that I need to use for a long time, so it is the best if the camera has a good condition and cheaper than other Leica when I get camera. The feel of the film winding lever and the shutter sound do not matter for me.
It is good if I am able to wind up the film properly, and release the shutter normally.
I used to use Leica M2 befour, and I felt I could smoothly wind up films and felt so good.
Shutter sound is also small, but it does not matter because it is not related to photography.
