Some people is not terribly reliable. I do remember there are fewer parts in an M4-2 than in an M3/4 like amount of things to adjust on the shutter. But people don't seem to complain about the M4-2/P/6 shutter being unreliable, no? On the rangefinder too. But my M6 focuses just fine. No matter how dedicated a company is, they still have to work within a budget I suppose. If you ask me, any benefit from the minimal "better" quality of an M4 over it's descendants is not worth not having a meter, or saving a buck - they are overpriced due to collectors.
