Resurrection of a Dead Legend: Leica M4 Complete Restoration

簡介：

A friend recently handed me a heavy, silent Leica M4 and asked a simple but daunting question: "Could you repair it?" The camera was seized, the shutter was dead, and it had clearly seen better days. The Leica M4 is often considered the high-water mark of the M-series rangefinders, and I couldn't let this one stay a paperweight. In this video, I take on the challenge of a full mechanical and aesthetic overhaul to prove that these legendary machines are never truly "gone." 00:00 Intros 00:50 Disassembly 07:00 Shutter Disassembly 11:30 Reparing the shutter 19:44 Remaking the shutter curtain 27:00 Shutter Reassembly 33:51 Film Counter and Speed Control 41:36 Adjusting the shutter speed 47:50 Self-timer 51:07 Viewfinder 53:46 The body frame 58:08 Repainting the body 01:01:36 Flange to focal distance 01:03:35 Viewfinder adjustment 01:07:42 Leather Replacement 01:10:19 Refilling the letters 01:12:18 Film loading test 01:12:52 Outro and test shots.
