Do you currently own a Leica camera?

[NaChase]

theres always at least a film and digital leica in my arsenal. at present theres a m9, m6 millenium, black m3, cl and r7 in my possesion. with the falling values of these and all my leica lenses i do wonder what the new ceo has in mind? it used to be leicas appreciated in value. i hope this remains the case

All of the sudden all the girls wearing lycra with the gym bodies was surrounding and laying on the hood of my car.

Just sold off an MP so I'm down to my M6ttl LHSA which is never leaving my ownership 🙂

 

[easyrider]

I own a IIIf although I must confess that I rarely use it. My Rollei MX gets a bit more use but the film workhorse is a Canon EF. However, the bulk of my stuff is on digital though.

Hi Cal,

It's a tank. Build quality like Leica M2,3,4. Elemental. Bright viewfinder.
I was able to buy this camera with lens for much less than an M 50 Summicron lens of same vintage alone.

Frank,

Thanks for the GAS. LOL.

Yesterday I bought a black SL2-MOT in excelent condition from Adorama for $279.00. The camera still had inspection sticker residue that I had to remove.

This retro camera brinds me back into 1975. You are correct about the build quality and the VF'er.

The new Leica total is now 6.

That 1967 ford Falcon is a classic and could be worth some money.

Amazing... I had a 63 1/3 Falcon convertible as well.
Mine was a "Sprint" with the 289 and 4speed.
"Lost it in the fire" (divorce).

sorry to say i was not 'into' cars as a kid...no idea what was under the hood.
the horn on the steering wheel didn't work so i rigged up an old fashioned doorbell on the dash...the only thing that worked well consistently on that car was the electric convertible top.

Joe,

My "Ratmobile" was a lowly 4-door.

Like a brassed out Leica the rust and faded paint made kinda a beautiful patina of Maroon and rusted bare metal. LOL.

Earlier in my life I also had a 1960 Ford Falcon 4-door, also a "Ratmobile." Funny thing is that I owned and drove these cars a long time. This Falcon featured pneumatic windshield wipers that under full excelleration made the wipers stop due to loss of vacuum. Accellerating onto a parkway during a downpour meant literally was like flying blind. The lack of accelleration from the modest 6 cylander added excitement and further life threatening challenge.

For a good part of my life I was king of the $200.00 car.

I did not have a Ford Falcon, but I drove an AMC Hornet! I always had in the car some carburetor cleaning spray to get the Hornet to start again after one of its many sudden deaths. It had a sleek 6 cylinder engine, and it could accelerate quite well.

A student in my class then called it "Blue $hit". It was blue ...

Owned? Yes, 3.
Own currently? No 🙁
Will own in the future? Probably. I've owned/used an M3 and still can't get it out of my head.
