How many Leicas models have you used?

I have owned and used these models (in order):

M4 MOT
M5
M3
IIIc
Standard Leica
CL (two of those)
M6
IIIf.

I now have : IIIf, Standard, M3, M6.
 
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...
 
Roberto V. said:
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
 
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
 
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.
 
I C Standard
III
IIIa
IIIb
IIIc (stepped and non-stepped)
IIIf (both black and red dial, with and without self timer)
IIIg
M3
M2
M4
M5
M6
M9

And a Leicaflex SL!
 
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.
 
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.
 
IIIc
IIIg
M2
KS-15(4)
M3

M7
M8

9 different Leica models.

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

And lotsa, lotsa other gear, most of which I shot for a while before reselling for a profit!
