andybarton Posted January 4, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 4, 2009 My M2 was made the same month as I was - it's exactly 9 months older than me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardT Posted January 5, 2009 Share #7 Posted January 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use my Leica III which was built the year I was born. But my favorite is a black/nickel II which is 6 years older. Len Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

os1991 Posted January 11, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 11, 2009 I've got a Leica R-E with a vario-elmar 28-70 from my year of birth: 1991:D. This was just a coincidence. All my other Leica gear is older than me except for my R7, M7 and my 2 summicron 50's for M and R. Cheers, Osman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnguyen Posted January 13, 2009 Share #12 Posted January 13, 2009 Looking for a 1957 M3 but haven't seen one yet. 57 was a good year for wine though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimF Posted January 13, 2009 Share #13 Posted January 13, 2009 I've had an M3 and M2 from 1963 in the past (would like to get at least one again), and am expecting a 35mm cron from the same year today with any luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted January 14, 2009 Share #14 Posted January 14, 2009 Not a body... but one of my Elmars 90 is from 1956 and above all is # 1.325.610 , being 30-12-56 my birthdate... this is fascinating... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
