At the end of
1985 an improved model was introduced the Leica
R4-S MOD 2, or
R4-S MOD P in the USA. MOD2 does not appear on the front of the camera but 'Leica
R4-S MOD 2' is engraved on the flanges of the accessory shoe.
Two additional features are the ability to switch from spot to full field
average metering by pressing the program selector when on the "Manual"
setting and the shutter
speed is now shown in the viewfinder.
Further operational improvements are the enlargement of the rewind knob
and improved eye-piece fitting for attaching a rubber
eye cup R correction lens; a slideswitch instead of a push
button for exposure compensation or override, and the lever wind is now
completely enclosed in plastic.
Production period 1985 - 1988.
Total production 6931.
