Thanks to those of you who replied with suggestions. I may give these a try. Like I said, this beyond a longshot. I have the original invoice for the camera that was sent to grandmother from the factory as well as the course book signed by the instructor Gunter Osterloh.

Hello everyone. It's been a long time since i have posted anything. This request I know is an extreme shot in the dark. I am looking for a specific Leica M4 serial number 1270112 and 50mm f2 Summicron M serial number 2387339. Both of these items were purchased at the Leica factory by my grandmother in February of 1971. She was there to attend the Leica School of Photography class with my aunt and uncle. Later she gave the camera to my father and he regrettably traded it in in the early 1980's in Battle Creek, MI for some other Leica equipment at either Norman's Camera or Krums Photographic. Both of these camera stores were located in downtown Battle Creek. Like I said, this is a real shot in the dark but if anyone on this forum owns this equipment, especially just the body, I would very much be interested in purchasing it. Thanks all for reading.

Hi Gus, From actual experience, I had the sf20 when I had my M6 and R8. It worked fine until I bought an M8. The sf 20 does not work on the M8 so I traded it for an SF24. Just something to rememeber if you ever go the Leica M digital route some day. I currently have a Leica M 240 and the sf24 works fine. Good luck to you in your purchase.
