How many Leica do you have? Why many?

[overgaardcom]

That's an incredible interesting story Geolux. Thanks for sharing.

IIIc IIIf M2 M4 CL M8
plus a R4 with the Leica-Sigma 28-70 and "vague" meter... an oddity I don't use, don't love, and maybe could sell, if only had a decent offer (but I would like to get the money at least to buy some CV lens... it seems impossible... )

[bono0272]

I have 4:

R8 and DMR
M8
M6
and the D-Lux 4 just bought today!

[dennersten]

Leica 1 standard (never used)
Leica II (My pocket camera)
Leica IIIG (Bought it cheap, never came around to sell it)
M2 (hardly ever using it)
M3 green repaint (hardly using it)
M4 Black paint (often used, love the looks)
M5 (hardly ever used)
M5 (bought it very cheap, extremly beat up, but works, so i kind of like it)
M6 black (bought it cheap, selling)
M6 black (bought it cheap to get my hand on 2 lenses, selling)
M6 TTL LHSA black paint (often used)
M8 classic (often used)
Leica CL (used before as pocket, and computerbag camera, never used after i found out that the Leica II were more compact and fun for that purpose)

I am telling myself every day to sell the stuff i don't use. But then it looks good on that shelf, and i maybe have some use later this summer.... So i guess i've been bitten by some collector bug.

M3, M4.2 Gold, M6 classic, M6 Titanium, MP, M8, R3 Safari, R4, R5, R6, R7, R9+DMR, D-Lux, D-Lux4, Digilux3. I think that's about it. I just love Leicas, not for collecting, use them all. Not very good at selling stuff. Anyone wants the above, let me know, I might sell some.

[leicamr]

R3 black (My first Leica, 30 years old in May 2009)
R3 Safari
M6 black classic x 2
M6 Millennium
M6 chrome TTL
M7 chrome
M7 Titanium
R8 black
R8 black / DMR
M8 black

10 x M lenses
18 x R lenses

Leica is a drug to me. I did sell an 4-2 many years ago, but I cannot bring myself to sell any of my current stock. I have been digital for the past three years since the DMR, but I am getting the urge to use the M7 again.

But they all were such good deals, right? RIGHT?

I think I need to thin the herd someday.

Then again, the M8.2 is real sweet. Maybe with this year's bonus check.

I regret having sold my R3 and Digilux 1. I never used the R3 and probably the only one using the Digilux 1 would be my wife and perhaps my daughter.

It's nice to keep and have the cameras for reference, and selling stuff usually doesn't bring in a lot of money. Ones time is better used making new money for new stuff than trying to replace old equipment with new.

The only way of getting rid of cameras that I think I would feel absolutely fine about would be giving them as rewards for photo competitions. Selling ones darlings just feel wrong somehow.

A lot of trusty customers here.
IIIf (bd - rd - rd+delay), M2, M4-P, M6, D-Lux 1, M8 (²x)

[mongrelnomad]

Three film Ms: M7 (slide), MP (noctilux+high ISO), MP-3 (regular BW/Colour)
One digital M: M8
One film SLR: R5 (presently being given a proper work-out by my girlfriend).

I think I have all the film Leicas I'll need, although I can see a perpetual upgrade path for the M8.

[pgk]

I currently OWN only one! An M8.Although I own too many M and R lenses!

I have OWNED and used many from IIIb to M6.

I WILL OWN another M series digital idc.

[treeplanter]

Just two, MP and M3. Wouldn't mind picking up a IIIG and a CL someday if the price is right.

Apichai, I have two IIIs, two M-3s, two MDas and two M8s. Since the first M8 I don't use the others much but I still like them and they are all working. By the way, many years ago I lived at 110/5 Charoen Mitr. regards, ron

[peter_n]

Three, an MP 0.85x mag., MP3 0.72x mag, and a 0.72x M7. Will probably sell the M7 and try a 0.58x body. I've never used one and I might like it...

[imported_digilux]

Well, that's actually a bit boasting, but what the.....

2 R9 with digibacks (and quite a few lenses...)
2 Digilux2
1 Digilux 3
1 V-Lux

1 D-Lux
1 D-Lux2
2 D-Lux3
1 D-Lux4 titanium

2 M8
1 M8.2
and a lot of lenses, for instance the f2/66 and the f1/90

Why many? Well, I like Leica!

[umshausumzu]

I started when I was 20: Rolleiflex
30: Leicaflex SL black
40: IIf
50: Leica M6
60: new wife + Serie 0 + IIIf
I hope, to get an M8 as present to my 70th anniversary.
I have all these cameras til today and would never sell them.
Leica participates in my daily life.
