Do you currently own a Leica camera?

[raid]

Bump for final two days of voting.

Thanks Dave! The voting members show 83% currently owning a Leica camera.

 

[Mudman]

I've got a iii, M3, M6TTL .85, M8. Just sold a 1929 Model A to get an Elmar f2.8 for the M8 (my screwmount elmar doesn't play nicely with the sensor).

M2. IIIf, Elmar 50 2.8 ltm, 40 2.0 cron

Raid,

You are tied with me at 5 Leicas.

With only 50 votes it is interesting to see a 40/10 split in the poll which translates into 80% own at least one Leica. Many own more than one.

Let's see if 80% remains as the votes add up.

Raid,

80% was reached very early on and statistically has remained stable. %0 votes was a pretty small sample.

Yes, the 80% vote stayed stable among the voters. It is difficult to estimate the Leica ownership among the non-voting members.

I have an M3 DS w/1mil serial, but I'd love a digital Monochrom.

50 DR Summicron, 50 Radioactive Collapsible Summicron, 90 Tele-elmarit thin.

 

[raid]

I also have 5 Leica cameras: Standard, M3, M6, M8, M9.
I like them all.
I sold an M4-MOT and an M5 in the past.

 

[undercharged]

I only own an M4 body, surprised with many users with loads of this stuff including uber-expensive lenses.

 

[hepcat]

Well, mine's changed a little since this photo... I've sold the M8 and the GX-1. And my M9P needs to go in for a sensor replacement for corrosion... but this is still basically my kit:

Ha! That is too funny! Thanks, Raid!!'

Carry on!

By the way, when are you meeting with the CEO? I missed that too.

 

[raid]

No meeting has been set yet. He will take over Leica AG as CEO in April. Then only is he allowed to address questions from us.

Black M9 purchased new in 2010. Most expensive camera I've ever bought.

Silver chrome M7, purchased secondhand in later 2010.

 

[rfaspen]

-> Two more Leica lenses here....happy.

I'm also seriously looking at NEW summarit lenses. I hear the build quality is a bit lower than traditional, but the optical quality is...well...up to modern Leica standards. Sounds good. My wife made the atypical comment about the benefits of purchasing new with a solid warranty. Well then.....😉

New additions to our home:
- Summicron-M 50mm f/2.0 v.4 black "tiger claw"
- Summitar 50mm f/2.0 LTM chrome Ex++
Quite different time periods of Leica, and quite different optical quality/performance, but both are simply "Leica" in every way.

Got an M8 about 3 months ago after 10 years of mainly using Nikon DSLRs - can't see myself going back to a DSLR in any hurry and the M8 does everything I need it to do despite being 7 years old. The only thing that bugs me a bit is the on/off switch gets switched off accidentally (or put into "self timer" mode). I'd like the option to shoot 14 bit raw in "normal" rather than "service" mode as well.

 

[Cyriljay]

I own ...
a M6 Classic
M8.2

Some / three Sumicron lenses

Planing for a MM ( monochrome )

 

[bob irvin]

Lonely little M6 TTL but jonesing for a black M9 one of these days.

 

[Latecomer]

I have owned the M2, M3, M6, M8, M9, but all I have now is a Digilux 2.

I will never sell it.
