ken_tanaka Posted February 8, 2007 Share #243 Posted February 8, 2007 M, 52, M7 since 2004 I performed this same poll on the old Leica forum in 2005. I've lost the results but the average age of the respondents (we didn't track gender or duration of Leica ownership) was in the mid-40's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodor Heinrichsohn Posted February 8, 2007 Share #245 Posted February 8, 2007 Hello All, Just discovered this thread. Belated birthday wishes for Guy. Male, 76. Leica II/Hektor 50 / 2.5 received as a present from my dad in the 1940ties. Subsequently IIIf -sold for IIIg + Leicxavit w. rigid Summicron 50- . Added M2, M3, M4, M5 (several and I love the camera because its meter lets me judge exposure more easily than the M6 and MP). Added M7 and since a couple of weeks M8, which I am now experimenting with. Also have a R8 and R9 but no DMR. Teddy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcam Posted February 8, 2007 Share #246 Posted February 8, 2007 This sounds just like the Porsche Boards for 911's...male, late 40's. Something about finely crafted German engineering that becons our hard-earned disposable/discretionary income. I'm 52 and have enjoyed the Leica (M8) experience for 2 weeks now. I am afflicted with Guy's lens addiction though. (#4 coming today from Tony Rose, #5 next week...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whsouthworth Posted February 10, 2007 Share #256 Posted February 10, 2007 Male, age 60. My first camera was a second hand Exacta in 1960. I've been using Leicas since 1968 (an early M4). Currently have an M6, M7, M8, an RD1 and a Nikon D2X (rarely used). Favorite camera continues to be a toss-up between the M8 and RD1. Lenses I use are a Voightlander 12, Elmarit-M 21mm ASPH, Elmarit-M 24mm ASPH, Summicron-M 28 f2 ASPH, Summilux-M 35mm f1.4, Noctilux-M 50 f1, Elmar-M 50mm f2.8. I almost always use the 21mm, 28mm or the Noctilux. Occasionally the 12mm for architectural interiors (with a bit of Photoshop pincushion adjustment).
