M11 for me Posted September 23, 2021 Share #165 Posted September 23, 2021 As far as I am concerned it will be the Summaron 28mm. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted September 23, 2021 Share #166 Posted September 23, 2021 This thread makes me feel better with my modest haul - Canonet my father bought me in the late 1960s, 3 M cameras, SL, TL2, SWC, Insta 360 and 14 lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T25UFO Posted September 23, 2021 Share #171 Posted September 23, 2021 You still have some way to go before you catch up with @Flu. He has all seven variants of the 50mm APO 😃 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all seven variants of the 50mm APO 😃 I know. And as far as I remember, he once told me that the one he enjoys using the most is the Titanium one. And since I just acquired an MP Titane …….. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't quite like the character, in fact I prefer the regular v5 cron in terms of rendering. And oh, I made 3k out of the deal so... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinj Posted September 29, 2021 Share #176 Posted September 29, 2021 Actually people here can not only afford to buy 14 Leica M bodies and equal number of lenses, but also travel wherever, whenever they want to. So let us not lecture anyone on what they should do with their money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasG Posted September 29, 2021 Share #177 Posted September 29, 2021 Seems, I am an underdog with only one digital and four film Leicas plus 14 lenses, but I do not feel the need to acquire more, I even consider to sell a M6 body eventually.

Steven Posted September 29, 2021 Share #178 Posted September 29, 2021 5 hours ago, carlosmcse said: All you need is 1 M camera and a couple of lenses. If you’re a photographer professionally then a backup M. You’re turning into a gear collector. There’s nothing wrong with that, but you should spend money on travel and developing your skills instead of buying cameras and lenses. All you need is an M10-R and a couple of lenses. Just turn those B&W if you like B&W. Nobody will be able to tell the difference. Seems quite directive for a first appearance in this forum 🤣 Anyway, as it has been said, some can afford 30 cameras, 30 lenses, and 30 trips a year. But more importantly, some acquire a lot of gear to use it, not to collect it, as it is the case for me. It doesn’t matter what it is, if i own it, it’s because i am going to use it. Most likely very frequently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brown Posted September 29, 2021 Share #179 Posted September 29, 2021 I can cure any GAS. No need for your close ones to know. Discrete & reliable. I take no cash or card, you compensate my service with special edition and rare M bodies. Sorry not taking lenses or accessories at the moment. Disclaimer: If it turns out that even after intensive therapy sessions you cannot be cured, you get an official signed & stamped 24kt gold plated plaque saying you are a "COLLECTOR" for free. No refunds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winedemonium Posted September 29, 2021 Share #180 Posted September 29, 2021 A very interesting thread, and one I can relate to, having gone through another round of purge and splurge myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
