What is the Correct Noun for Three or More Leica's?

[DLox]

Hhmmmnn.........
I offer my version of the collective for ...'one or more English Springer spaniels in a domestic residence'.. a "Clutter".
Might this also apply to Leicas, since I own only three?

More than 10?..... A greed of Leica

I recently took a photo of my four (two film M's, a digital M, and a IIIf) Leica camera bodies together and sent it to a few people to illustrate a fetish many of us here on the forum have. My daughter who loves writing asked me a very interesting question "What is the correct term for a gathering of Leicas?"

Just for fun I thought I would put this question to the group-what is the correct term? Is it a herd, a flock, a gaggle, a pack, a bunch, or ????. Your thoughts?

A goggle.....

any number less than 10 is insanity

A mimion....or the equivalent for a minimum....congregation

These are all very good suggestions. I think we can fine-tune this.

For many pre-M Leicas: a barnack of Leicas

For Leica SLR aficionados: a flex of Leicas

For digital Leica owners: a battery of Leicas

 

[Dralowid]

An obsession...

All OUTSTANDING nouns! Perhaps we should submit something to the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary!

Oh, wait! What about all the Leica copies? What should we call a collection of Leica copies?

They are a wannabe of cameras.

 

[sreed2006]

A GAS of Leicas.

Not bad! How about, "An embarrassment of Leicas."

Hoarding is the right word for many. With excise of collection. Few are actually using it, it seems.
I have M-E 220, M4-2, IIIf. Using all three, gravitating more to digital M.
I sold M8, M4-P and M3. Because I'm not a hoarder. 🙂
