Comments
New version of the M4. The M12 and M14 are smaller than the previous M2 and M4 cameras. The M14 does not need a button cell since the fourth AA cell is used instead for the meter. Unusually the four AA cells are all inserted the same direction making battery replacement much easier than the usual alternating battery direction. A removeable pistol grip was supplied with the original camera. The camera must be modified for use with Ektachrome 64T since it is calibrated for EI 40 cartridges.

Although well made, most cameras have been neglected and unused for a long time and will not run. The motor or gear train is prone to break or seize solid and is difficult to access for repair.
