How many of your friends have an M240? ...

How many of your friends have an M240? ... and how many of them would you invite to dinner?


... not a wholly serious thread so please don't get too giddy eh?

 

[x-ray]

None. Don't know anyone personally that has a 240. I didn't know anyone other than myself that had an M9 when I had it.

 

[jsrockit]

None of my friends, but I've seen at least two at the NYC RFF meetings.

Interesting Question.
Where are you going with this?

 

[Meakin]

Friends ?....... ;-)

No - the people that tolerate me, hardly know one end of a camera to the other let alone an M240 (one actually thought it was a gun, when I mentioned it's existence once)...on the other hand they do eat like pigs when I invite them to dinner.

... I'm probably going to hell, but this will only form part of the indictment I expect 🙂

 

[shortstop]

None.
I know a friend of a friend of mine who has an M9 (but he's a professional photographer).

I suspect the list is growing 😀

The M240 is a very serious weapon. Used them in Iraq.

 

[kbg32]

I know someone, but I haven't seen him in quite awhile. Way before he bought the M240.

 

[CliveC]

None of my friends even own Leicas, or heck, even rangefinders.

 

[FrozenInTime]

I believe there are now 4 Monochrom owners in the group that frequent the San Francisco RFF local meets; zero M.240 owners.
What does that say about the M.240 -

 

[robbeiflex]

Somewhere between zero and one. I have a friend who has been using the M9 for years and will get one at some point, but he's out traveling somewhere for a few months, which he does often, so I won't know until he "visits" home. Independently wealthy, and travels the world for the sake of it. It's not his camera that I envy. 😀

Otherwise I only know a few Leica users, mostly recent M and Bessa film, one who has her grandfather's Leica II or III in storage, and only one M8 in the digital camp.

Cheers,
Rob

Only people I know through this board own the m240 or m9 or....
well I have one friend with an M8 But..... I sold it to him 😀

Few of my other friends have more than a passing interest in Photography although, most want me to take photos of them for their own use.
All are invited to dinner !

 

[Rodchenko]

Other than my comrades on this board, I have one friend who owns a Leica of any kind.

If I had friends rich enough to buy M240s, I'd ask them to lend me a few bob.

 

[Darthfeeble]

My M9 is the only one in our little camera club. Beyond that nobody I know would even know what a Leica is, much less an M- 240.

 

[siracusa]

None of my friends own an M240. I do have a friend with a fantastic corkscrew that doubles as a bottle opener and she also offers fantastic repartee as an added bonus, however, and this is the kind of person I would prioritise when planning invitations to a dinner party.

 

[Mackinaw]

One does. He let me use it a few times. Great camera.
