I would really like an M4-P from the year of my birth but it is pretty low on my list of things to get...

If I wanted to get a Leica M camera my age, it'd have to be an M6.
Ouch. I wish I had one, though. 😉

How many Leica IIs did you get? 😀

A Rolleicord Va that may have been made a month before I was born in 1961.

A Yashica Mat 124 that was produced around 1971. Shot two rolls with it yesterday!

I'm born in 1966, and I guess it's the last year of production for the M3.
I had a M3 (lost in the flood of Arles in 2003), but it was a 1957 model.
I don't want a camera from my year of birth, because I'm not a sentimental guy and, most of all, I no more want use film ever! too much boring and complicated! I passed too much time in a dark and wet room in my life! I prefer fresh air and light, and shooting!
My photographic re-birth is around 2003, when I though that digital cameras began to be interesting tools for photography.
So, all what I need is a M9, not a prehistoric stuff!
Actually, I'm a prehistoric guy who loves contemporary tools 🙂

Almost, my camera is a little bit older... '82 M4-P, I was born in '84.
1966 M3 and 50 Summilux are my birthday crew.

I have an M4 and Summilux both made the year I was born. I didn't buy them intentionally for this reason, I thought it was an interesting coincidence when I checked out their serial numbers.

Not year of birth but for my father's birthday this year (78th) I got him the IIIf and 50mm that he had lusted after in the local camera shop as a teenager at the start of the 50's, bought from Mr Sweeney though this site. I don't think a present I've given has ever gone better! Thanks Brian.

An M2 from the year of my conception (1960)--does that count?

I have a Kiev-IIa from my birth year (1957) but I'd rather have a Nikon SP to go with all my great Nikkor and Cosina Voigtlander glass!

Shied away from my birth year M4... M5 at a stretch... when i held an M3 and looked through the finder....
Does this mean that my real age is really closer to 50?

Nearest camera to my year of birth (1954) is my Zorki 1e of 1955. I also have a Kodak Duaflex bought in England by my mum that is early 50s. Oh, but my Vito B with 3.5 color skopar is ... No, I've just checked the serial number of the lens, it's 1955...

Close but no cigar. My first camera, a Nikon F4, was released in 1988 while my birthday was in 1989. Not sure if the camera is as old as the release date, but it looks like it could be that old.
