AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Leica R4 in excellent condition, with virtually no signs of wear. Naturally works perfectly, including light meter and shutter speeds.

The Leica R4 is an advanced 35mm SLR camera, developed in collaboration with Minolta and based on the compact and innovative designs of that era. With its versatile exposure options and outstanding build quality, the R4 is a popular choice among both collectors and photographers.

The R4 offers a wide range of exposure modes, including manual mode (M), aperture-priority (A), shutter-priority (T), and a fully automatic Program mode (P). The mechanical shutter operates from 1/1000s to 4s + Bulb, and the camera features center-weighted and spot metering for accurate exposure.

Thanks to the Leica R bayonet, the R4 is compatible with a broad range of Leica R lenses, known for their exceptional optical performance. The robust metal body and ergonomic design make this camera not only durable but also comfortable to use.
