Hi Ted (and all other Leica users),
The M4-P does not have any self timer. Where the self-timer should
be is just an empty compartment. This compartment was intended for
the M6 battery compartment. As I know the M4-P is just a pre M6,
they are almost identical - except the exposure meter in the M6. I
myself is using an M4-P and I agree, sometimes I would like to have
a built in self timer. I have bougt a separate self timer which is mounted
directly in the release socket. The size of the the timer is about
the same size as the leica-meter (actually it is smaller). I bougth
this timer some years ago in a shop in Scotland. The timer is intended
for use with old "pre-video" film-cameras. Perhaps they are hard to
find, but try some second-hand-museum-like-photo-shop !

! one more question: does the M4-P have a self timer? I really like the
! self timer on my M3, and use it every time i have the camera on a tripod,
! instead of having to use a remote release cord.
