IIa synch,
IIIb,
Millennium

I had more but about two years ago changed to MF and will go on with LF and are using these 35mm cams hardly any more
The ones I didn't use have been sold (Urleica, M2, M4-2, M7, M6 classic, M6 TTL, M8 and a lot of other Barnacks)
 
I toyed around with a Zorki to see if I could agree with the way a Barnack body worked. There was a IIIc in the local antique mall that had sat there for months, and when I went to get it, too late. I do however have a scratched up Elmar 4/90, and a VIOOH I had to glue back together. So maybe one day I'll come across another III with some cash in my pocket to spend.

The IIIa is a good conversation starter as people are surprised it works it's "so old". I probably won't end up using it very much as the other cameras feel more practical. "

if you are like me I think you will be surprised that the IIIa can be more fun than many more practical cameras

M6 + Barnack llla

M6 + Barnack llla

Right now i have a Barnack llla with a beautiful black paint finish & nickel hardware. The llla has a 5cm/3.5 nickel Elmar mounted to it.

Also, I recently purchased a chrome M6, together with an E46 50 Lux from maitani. I plan to ad a 35 cron, 21 Angulon and 75 Lux.

Might have to sell a kidney to finish this kit. 😀
 
I have a Leica (Barnack's Leitz camera) . . .a IIIf black dial paired with a 5cm f/3.5 Elmar. Just shot a roll of T-Max 100 with it today. For my modern LTM lenses manufactured by CV (15, 25, 35) I have the Bessa-T and a newly acquired Bessa-R.

Digital is different. I have been with shooting various Olympus Pen cameras (m43 format) since 2010. Currently I have an E-P5.
 
Cool Raid! I think that the more information you collect, the better. I'd suggest these categories:

1. Screwmount
2. M2, 3, 4, 4-2, 4-P, 5
3. MP, M6, 7
4. M8, 8.2
5. Full frame digital
6. Fixed lens digital
7. None

This breakdown is information rich, and you can always add them altogether to give the info that your simple poll gives. JMO


Missed one out Frank...

Dual lens (fixed) AF, 35mm. film...😛😎
 
Only have a Leica Mini Zoom (Yes I know it doesn't count).

Situation is probably not going to change in the near future. I do want an M2 or M3 at some point, maybe a IIIf. Can't afford the glass outside of an Elmar though.

Hi,

The question was about whether or not you "own a Leica camera" and so I reckon it counts...

It's got the red dot and an Elmar lens; that's good enough for me.

Regards, David
