mike_gillespie Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 your m 2 was made in 1958 Drew. What is the serial of your IIIC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon_dragon Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 The push button were the earlier versions. The later ones used a lever and added a self timer. Some later M2s have the M4 loading system (the military KS15-4's do and maybe others). The M2's a great camera, especially if you typically use 35-90mm lenses. It lacks a meter, but the little Voigtlander clip on meters work great for the M2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_dougherty Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 To the poster who supplied the answer to this questions, how on earth did you figure out when his/her camera was made based on the serial number? is there a site that will allow me to figure out how old my M6 is?
