I have 12. Some for collection, some barely used since I got an M8. I had considered selling some, but my Leica collection has been a better investment than my stocks recently.
M8, M7, MP, M6TTL black, M6TTL silver, M4-2, M3, M2, CM zoom, Minilux, Digilux 2, D-Lux 3.
Why many? Because I like them and I can.

Leica M8 - My large camera

Leica D-Lux 3 - My pocket camera

Leica Digilux 3 - Ready to put up for sale now that I have an M8

Leica MP4 - My first Leica. A gift from a friend of mine who is a member of Magnum.

I like how you stuck a red badge on the L1.

[johnastovall]

Four, IIIG, M3, M4 and M8.

[E.M]

I have 3 M6TTL, chrome, black, black paint millennium. Only use the chrome one, but keep the black to use with a different lens when I travel. I think I'll sell the black paint in the future.

I have only 5:

Leica III
Leica MP
Leica M3
Liecaflex SL
Leica R8

And why ? I really don't know.

[Delfi_r]

I came to Leica gradually and in this order:

Leica D-Lux 3 - My pocket camera

Leica Digilux 3 to use old SLR lenses.

Leica MP4 - My first Leica rangefinder

Leica M8 - My main tool now

[MV8]

Nice!

M8-classic

[vertekijker]

CL, M5, M6 (Panda), M6TTL, M3, M8, MP, M8.2 (that makes eight).

I started with a CL in the 1980's and a few years later bought (for very little money) a beat-up M5 that did wonderful service. It took till 1996 - when I left the academic world and saw my income rise - before I could afford my first new M-camera, an M6 (Panda) with which I took tons of photos. After that followed an M6TTL (did not use it much) an old M3 (which I never use) to help out a friend, then the M8 (chrome), which I love, an MP and another great M8 (black). I had the chrome M8 upgraded.

Let's see, four and a half -

SL
R8 (I'm trying to sell - Sold the DMR)
M6 standard "Panda"
Digilux 2
Minolta CLE - sort of a Leica like. CL was stolen and replaced it with the CLE. Wish I had gotten another CL.

First Leica was an M2 with collapsable Summicron that I bought used in 1967 for $200!!! Such a deal. Sometimes wish I had not sold it but then remember the MR meter on the top and all that and say progress is good - most of the time.

Only two for now. Started with C-Lux 1, and just got my D-Lux Titan. Pretty much a beginner, but hooked

Only 3:

M8 - my work horse
M6 - was my work horse
SL2 - couldn´t resist, but don´t need it really

D-Lux 4 to have a pocket enjoyement.

Do you mean "M4-P"? There is a MP3 but no MP4 as far as I know.

My answer: two (MP/MP). I am very reluctant to say "only two" when it comes to Leica.
