M4. I've only had it since early february but I'm totally in love 🙂
It's the perfect M for me, I kind of enjoy not having a meter in it. I've also fallen in love with the darkroom, so if someone wanted to give me an M9 I think I'd rather have film, chemicals and paper for the same amount of money...

M4 and IIIC. Still have both, but the IIIC is going for sale soon. The M4 was my first RF, and the first Leica I ever saw in person. I'm keeping that one until I die.

Also used bobkatz's M6 the other day. Pretty nice, very similar to my M4

Just one. M3.

 

[maddoc]

M6, M3, M3 w/ M2 VF, MP, M4-P, IIIf BD, M3, M4, M4-P, M6TTL 0.85x, M2, M5, M7, M2, M2 Massa BP, IIIb, M4-P

Now I only use the M7, two M4-P, the IIIf, and IIIb

 

[t.s.k.]

Kudos for not polling this !

IIIf, M2, M3, M4, M6.
I don't think I'll ever use anything more current than the M6 classic.

Wow, you have covered a lot of bases..

 

[Vince Lupo]

What is it they say about a fool and his money.....?

If I had to choose amongst that list, it would probably be the III, IIIb, IIIf, M2, M5, M9, and the Leicaflex. Ones I didn't like -- the M6 and IIIg. I didn't think the M6 was particularly well made (though I could have just gotten a bad one), and the IIIg viewfinder didn't work for me, as I wear glasses and had a hard time seeing the entire viewfinder image.

In chronological sequence as much as I remember:

M6

M2
O-series

Six used I think; in order: (Some just borrowed, not owned):
M3, IIIf, M2, M8, M9, S2, and I can't count my well-favored CLE because it's not a Leica.

Also: FED-S, FED-1f, Minolta CLE, Hexar RF (one-roll-test when selling it on commission), fake Shanghai-II (actually a Zorki-1).
