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

[JeffS7444]

A Seduction of Leicas.

Since it's unlikely to be uttered by this group "an excess of Leicas"

How many KTM's do you have? 🙂

 

[ktmrider]

I no longer own any KTM's. When I needed an email I owned a 950 Adventure and a 640 Adventure. Presently I own a 2020 Harley Road King, a 2011 Kawasaki Versys, and a 2008 BMW GSA (a bike from the US, Japan and Germany) so I have the spectrum pretty well covered.

I leave tomorrow for the Harley museum in Milwaukee and then a week of riding along the shores of Lake Michigan. Have decided to take my M2 and X100F.

What about a „critical mass“?

 

[Malcolm M]

He’s looking for what’s called a collective noun, such as a herd of sheep, a school of fish, a flock of geese, etc. In this case, the question is made in jest.

Sheep come in flocks, and geese in gaggles (on the ground) or skeins (in flight).

That'll be Pedants I believe. Lol.

 

[David Hughes]

I usually find geese in freezers in supermarkets; now I wonder what the word is for them. A banquet perhaps...

Ahhh - you are right! I was thinking of a herd of shoppers.

To borrow an expression from the biking world: the proper number of Leica film cameras to own is N+1 (where N = the number of Leica film cameras one currently owns.

 

[FrozenInTime]

I have an indecision of Leicas : film M, digital M, monochrom M, SL, CL and TL, but not two of any one thing; this provides flexibility.
I crave for simplicity, a brace of Leicas - two identical M bodies; one with a wide, the other with a normal lens.

 

[hydet]

FrozeninTime: I just bought a 2nd Leica M2 for that very reason, a common practice in the photojournalism world.

Leicae n pl.

What about a critical mass?

Sadly this is apt. More particularly, a “criticality” of Leicas. Like the fission reaction of Louis Slotin’s criticality incident with his screw driver slipping. And sorry to mention even that horrible thought near Leica people - a screw driver slipping. As the two Leicas of the new collection get near each other a fatal consequence is possible. Others close by are at risk. For many who survive there are life-long consequences.

Truly horrifying… I had to investigate what this incident was. Consequently, I have ensured that no screwdriver in my house is within 30 meters of a Leica.

An 'Overdraft" of Leicas. 😛
