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

[Out to Lunch]

To stay with our furry friends from the animal kingdom, how about a litter of Leicas, all rescued from the camera pound. Cheers, OtL

I can kind of relate to this. A friend of mine had several Labrador puppies. Lab puppies have boundless energy and enthusiasm and large waggy tails that effortlessly sweep everything off coffee tables when they become over excited. Hence the collective noun: "A catastrophe of Labradors"

Thank you, Peter.
I do believe it of Labradors and Retrievers for that matter.
I have three Leicas:- 2 x 3f and 1 x Digilux 1 - which I do not use and regard as the nearest photographic instrument to a dungbucket (only my personal opinion, mind)

For me it's a harem of Leicas.

[David Hughes]

An extravagance of Leicas?

Tribe ! Black Tribe even better if applicable 🙂 depending on colours of cameras. Perhaps Silver Tribe as alternative...

Judging from some of my own worst tendencies, and from not a few of the posts here, I would suggest a "boast" of Leicas...

Three Leici

Since most of the Leicaholics think of their cameras like they're their children, some even giving them names:

A Family of Leicas.

All the best,

I have used "a mortgage of Leicas" for some years now!

For extreme collections, Hong Kongers know what I mean when I talk about "a racetrack of Leicas"

 

[maigo]

A marriage of Leicas, because they are as expensive as a divorce.

 

[Malcolm M]

Far too many- but oddly, simultaneously not enough.

 

[valdas]

It is a common known disorder called Leicosis. You can treat symptoms (somewhat), but usually it’s terminal.

I'll add a "fondling" and a "winding" of Leicas (latter is for the collectors who don't use the cameras, just work the mechanisms occasionally thinking they are protecting their "investment.")

Special cases: For two Leicas, "A doublet of Leicas." For three, "A triplet of Leicas."
