I have just aquired a Uk Leningrad 4 meter in near new condition with box , Instructions , and , most importantly original passport which confirms it as 1979 manufacture - as is my as new UK Kiev 4a !
The e-bay seller did not show a picture , so I took her description on trust .
It works perfectly and has ASA speeds as well .
RESULT !

Nice one! got a very similar Leningrad 4 in top working condition myself a couple of months ago, I think mines 1979 too, and its spot on with my sverdlovsk 4 and Samsung GX-10 so I dont think its been used.

Samsung GX-10,too many Russian Lenses,some Zenit,Yashica,Pentax Bodies and a Minox35GT

Yea these are pretty solid meters, and most found work too! This is my primary meter I use with all the cameras that I shoot.

Caught another Leningrad 4 mint boxed with passport - 1980 .
Those Uk meters with passports seem much more difficult to find than without ,
and £ 8.00 is cost effective .

... and a £ 4.00 grey one + £ 5.00 Leningrad 7 yet to arrive . My ASdee needs the reassurance of several same items , this is a less expensive means of satisfying this - and they all work within one stop , which I can correct on the ASA scale .

Have you got a sverdlovsk 4 yet they are prety good too, especially if you get the whole kit with battery adapters etc very solid and reliable.
