Leica M-A

[beemermark]

Looking at a Leica M-A in the classified ad it looks like the shutter speed dial is milled to connect with the MR-4. Can anyone confirm the the MR-4 meter will fit and couple on the M-A?

As far as I'm aware, they're compatible — that's what that slot's for, after all (the MP doesn't have it, for hopefully obvious reasons).

For good measure, I visually compared the position of the slot against my M3, and it all looks the same.

Maybe someone here who owns an M-A can corroborate.

Yes it will fit, but they are all very old and unreliable now, but use it until it stops working. A modern alternative is the new KEKS replacement for the MR meter, which naturally will also fit.

Yea, that looks correct compared to my M's. Yes, MP doesn't have it. I agree with 250swb about the the KEK's M meter and I have been using one for a month or two on my M3's and M2. It's an nice upgrade from the old MR's.

I have three black MR-4 meters. One stays on my M4. And they may be old but they are very accurate and reliable. DAG repairs them and will convert them to a 625 (I think) for $90.

Yes. I had one done by DAG..... agreed...they are reliable.

'Very reliable' and 'DAG repairs them' in the same sentence, only on Photrio.
