Okay Raid, I removed the Spotmatic. But if I remember right, we've declared the Rolleflex an honorary rangefinder.(?):)

And Roland, I'll admit, 'Elvis' is pretty cool and all....
 
These are my good ones:

M2, M3, M5, M6, IIf, CL, Hexar RF, Contax II, IIa,
Bronica 645, Fuji GS645, Rollei 3.5E,

This is the fascinating (scary?) thing about RFf: this thread was started roughly a year before I waltzed into the joint, and I'm only stumbling across it now (while in the middle of untangling a client's Mac mini, at a quarter to two in the morning...at least I''m less than a half-mile from home).

Cameras on active duty:

- Konica Hexar RF (2), w/28, 50, 90 M-Hexanons: my Main Axe

- Olympus OM-2n w/50 f/1.8: occasional use.

- Konica Lexio 70: used a moderate amount; fast little zoom p/s.

- Konica POP: not much use; I call it my "anti-LOMO."

- Olympus 510Z digital; it doth come in handy for a few things.

Sidelined for repairs:

- Konica Auto S3 (memo to G'man: had problems sending it off to you to fix: will have it sent next week).

- Ricoh GR1: procrastinated like hell about fixing this one, yet keep complaining about not having it to shoot with. Will get off the pot by next month, sending it to CRIS camera. Will get carried damn near everywhere once repaired. It's that good.

Hi!

I just have started to "gather" and I am still in the "fun period", i.e. no serious collection. ;)

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]AGFA Super Silette (sporting a [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Solagon 2.0/50)[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]AGFA Super Silette Automatic ([/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Color-Solinar 2.8/50)
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Minolta Hi-Matic F ([/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Rokkor 2.7/38)

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]FED 3b (with Industar-61 L/D 2.8/53 & [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Jupiter-12 2.8/35 P[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif])[/FONT]

So this means, I've got 5 real rangefinder cams and several scale focus cams that I can turn with a BLIK rangefinder into pseudo-rangefinder cams.

I rather have collected SLRs with manual lenses so far, and I hope that I will not develop the same GAS for rangefinder cams... ;)
 
Rangefinder:

Leica M4
Leica M6TTL LHSA
Leica M7
Leica MDa
Leica M8
Hexar RF (2)
Mamiya 6 (2) with 3 lenses
Fuji TX-1 with 3 lenses
Voigtländer Vitomatic II
20+ Leica lenses and 10+ others in LTM and M mount

Scale focussing or Viewfinder AF:

Leica Standard (used to take many photos in our family albums)
Ricoh GR1
Rollei 35S Silver
Bessa L
Cambo Wide (2) with 4 lenses
Hasselblad SWC
Horizon 202
Noblex 150U
Roundshot 28/220

The only one which stays whether or not it gets used is the Leica Standard; the others move out if not used. So... the Ricoh GR1, Vitomatic, Rollei 35S, Leica M4, Hexar RF's, Fuji TX-1 and Bessa L are either already spoken for or will be on the block shortly.

Now to clean out my SLR and large format stuff...

Rangefinders I have "known":

Xpan
Mamiya 7
Super Ikonta "C"
Bessa R3M
Bessa R2C
Zeiss Ikon
Leica M3
Leica M7
Konica RF
Bronica 645
Retina II
Konica IIIa
Canon P
Leica IIIc
Contax G
Fuji 645zi
Contax IIa

I think that's it. In addition, I used to have, but no more:

M3 (different than above)
Kiev
Mamiya 6 (I regret that one most)
Leica M5 (owned it one week but returned it as faulty)

The list would be ugly if we went beyond RF's
 
I'll just list the cheap and more unusual ones:

Moskva 5
Belomo Agat 18K half-frame
Zeiss Ikon Contessa
Franka Solida I
Lomo Action Sampler
Zorki 5
Zenit E
