Vandalising a Leica M4

M4, Zeiss 21/4.5 ZM, Contax 21mm finder. That little square Ci sticker under the frameline preview lever was there when I bought the camera, apparently the logo of the importer in Italy that first sold the camera.

A year and a half ago I got my hands on a Leica M4. This was my first foray into that world, the world of collectors, expensive lenses, mythical performance and all the other stuff that comes with it. Silly, I know. But in any case, I finally got one! It was a 1968 model (if the serial number calculations are correct), 10 whole years older than me! And it worked.
