Good tutorial. Im a Leica technician. You might need an extra tool to hold tight the fork from the rewind knob in place, otherwise rewinding severel times it could unscrew accidentally. By the way, you have an Upgraded M1 to M2. The toplate is M1. Regards from Spain
hi! Thanks for the video! Does removing that black mask from the viewfinder impede the camera in any way? You can also find it on later cameras, just with a wider frame. Apparently it improves the image in the viewfinder, like an aperture.
I typically use a larger flat blade screwdriver to insert between the prongs of the rewind shaft to hold it firm rather than my finger for loosening and tightening.

Lost my M3 rewind knob screw on a shoot. New one coming. Couldn’t you use a pair needle tipped tweezers to screw that back in?
Where did you get your spanner tool set?
The film advance ever makes a ratcheting sound on the return. Is that normal? My M2 does not make that sound.
Great. Any idea on how t9 remove all glasses from the top plate ?
Id like to blacken mine.
你好 我的LEICA M2 快门需要按两次才触发 是零件损坏还是别的问题呢
Hey any trick to removing the iso dial?? I can’t figure it out 😂 thank you for any help!
What's the name of the tool you used to remove the film rewind knob? Thanks.
I am looking for those round nut spanners (don’t know the correct name) for a while. How do you call them?
nice job ...where can you purchase the tools for this camera

A special No. print on the body！！
Thanks a lot for this video.
Please make more videos like this :)
Hey thanks for the video! Where can I get those tools to remove the rings?
Same, I would also like to know where you got the tools to do this!
I believe they are called friction wrenches. It seems they can be specific sizes for different cameras, so many repairers fabricate them themselves...
Just researched further, they are also called flexiclamps! www.micro-tools.de/en/Flexi-Clamps-oxid/
Many available on eBay and Aliexpress.
This is a really great and informative video, but I’d love take 2 shot at like f8 if you get locked down again. Thanks a lot!!!!!
Did you convert the M1 to m2 yourself?
I think he mentioned that it is an M2 originally but has an M1 top plate on it.
damn thats the first M1 ever built in the world...
It’s the first one from the third batch so it’s the 786th ever built
Great video!
actually it looks like Leica M1 after conversion to m2. To bad ;/ not much was made of it.
