Do you currently own a Leica camera?

An M2 and a IIIf here.

Sure, I've got some.
Told a friend, as I lay me down in that six foot mahogany box, I'll be resting my head on an M2. Maybe two.

Told my wife to put a pack of cigs, a book of matches and a 6-pack of Guinness in the box with me. I'd ask for a good bottle of Irish Whiskey but my friends would dig me up the next night and swipe the whiskey. 🙂

Raid, I think the correct response would be (currently) that 82% of responding members own Leicas.

It would be interesting to see how the overall numbers changed with a few further questions:

If you answered NO: did you previously own a Leica? How many?

If you answered NO: do you plan to acquire a Leica (used or new)?

Whatever you answered: do you own Leica lenses you adapt to other camera bodies? M/ltm-mount lenses you adapt to other bodies?

I imagine the Leica percentages would increase with questions like these.

I think that as wonderful as it is to know that 80% of RFFers own at least 1 Leica camera, from the CEO's perspective, the questions are:
A- how many are likely to buy a new Leica camera?
And
B- if you answer no to A then what single thing will change your mind?

No digital; mine are film RF cameras: M3 DS (needs repair), IIIg (needs repair), M2, M4, and a CL.

 

[Fuchs]

Currently 6: two M6, one M9, a IIIF, a IG, and a CM

I have an M6 and IIIf. I'd love a digital Leica, but can't justify the cost since i'm no pro.

Don't get too attached.

M3 (1964) and 50mm Summilux v2.

 

[noisycheese]

M4-P black with MP viewfinder upgrade and a black M240 and a couple of lenses.

 

[G Dogg]

M 240, Monochrom, IIIC

 

[Livesteamer]

Too many. Oldest being a 1929 Leica 1, bought used, and the latest an M6 .85 bought new in 2000. The finder was no good till Sherry K. upgraded it to MP standards. Got a bunch of old Leica glass and some asph lenses bought new. Lenses mostly great but the original hood for my 35mm Summilux asph fell apart in days and the dealer replaced it.

Would I buy a digital Leica? Only if they get the price/reliability/depreciation under control. Joe

M4, MP, M8, and M9.

Don't get too attached.

Ok. I deleted my post.

There was no need to do that. You love your cameras and lenses.

I have a forty-year-old Leitz Pradovit projector that I talked my folks into buying back then.

I have never had a Leica camera (so I voted "No").
I have used compact, fixed-lens RFs for travel, mainly because of their small size.
Otherwise, I use SLRs for 35mm and TLRs for medium format.
