That's the current view count for this thread ... just mind boggling! 😱

No other thread comes close.

Love this thread. I was so proud to FINALLY be able to post my humble M8 here. Love the Leica porn.

Looks nice, not as big as it looked in LFI.

Gonna stick with 21 f4 SA for a bit longer though.🙂

Seasoned M6 TTL Millennium and the new Super Elmar 21mm f3.4.

'Seasoned.' I like that. 😉

The cousins,

I like M2's - obviously. These are some of mine, nicely stacked. One was on loan to a friend and one was in for service at the time. My excuse (and I am sticking to it) is that I need them to test M2 Rapidwinders.
The truth is that I could possibly, though reluctantly, live with maybe three of them and the 21/35/50 lens set-up. These have accumulated since the early 60's and I loathe getting rid of any of them.

13...bad luck...

Here's mine M2 with my old new DR Summicron 😀

Great looking print!

Poor Tom. How can you live without the two that are absent here? Such sacrifice.My deepest sympathies.

Honestly, though, if you only could keep one body and one lens, you'd still be okay, but since you don't need to that, why even consider it?

If you need someone to help reduce the awesome responsibility of testing M2 Rapidwinders, I'll gladly volunteer to take a tiny share of the burden!

My biggest question is how you decide which body to load with which film?

Tom,

We have all gathered here for your intervention....

I'm with Travis. Tom A, we are all RFHolics, and you our friend are suffering from a rare case of M2Holicism!

 

[Ken Shipman]

Holy Spumoni...look at all those...softies. 😱

 

[Tom A]

13 😱😱😱

Need to add one more Tom 😉

Dont worry, there are two more - one in for service and one in the hands of a friend at the moment of the shot - so 15 all in all. Some addictions are better than others - M2's is one of more benign!

 

[magicianhisoka]

That is a whole lot of mechanical goodness right there!

 

[Frank Petronio]

Why don't you start a loaner library to worthy young talented digital photographers and force them to use a Leica for a month, shoot a brick of film?

 

[hans voralberg]

^ Me volunteering for the digital photographer idea, not very talented though haha.

That's why he keeps them in stacks. 😉

No matter how long I stare at this photo and tell myself that this many M2's is unhealthy and not natural ... envy eventually creeps in! 😛

 

[gavinlg]

If I was in your situation Tom I'd probably fill my bathtub with m2's and bathe in them every night.

So much better than real bathing.

How does the SE 21 compare to the Sa 21 ?

Tom,

you seem to enjoy the new Super Elmar 21. How do you like it in compare to the old SA 21 ?
