Recently switched the IIIf bd for a red dial with self timer. Shall be selling a bunch of stuff to pay back the $$$.

Now here's a question: it seems to me Leica folks, or good rangefinder folks, if they have SLR equipment, go for Olympus or Nikon. I just sold my whole Olympus collection to keep feeding my Nikon head: F, F2 (both plain prism) and F3 HP, plus the magnificent F100. Any other Nikonistas among you all who've been commenting here? If not, what's your favorite SLR?

I'm a Canon SLR user, AE1, T90, 50D, 60D, Mark II ids and Mark III ids. I was heavy into SLR before I got the RF bug. Oh also I have a Leicaflex SL2. I may use the Canons one or twice a month, Leicaflex a little less. Never owned a Nikon or Olympus.

One MP (x0,58)

But I feel a growing desire to own a M3 or M6 (x0,85).

Thumbs up How many Leica M's do you have?

M3, M5 Blk, M4-2
Hexar RF
Ricoh GXR M mount Module, on it's way.

In film cameras I use the M5 and Hexar RF the most, they kind of match each other in feel.

I had just one for about 7 or 8 years.........then I ended up buying 2 from a member here when I was back in San Francisco on vacation about 3 years ago........
my M6ttl was my first Leica and it is my most used.....the m2 is a user and it gets used a lot as a back up, I love that camera.....my m3 is more of a "specialty" camera in the sense that I'll take it out with a 50mm or a 90mm all day and see what I can get......it gets its use, but not as much as the M6ttl and the M2.......

to be honest, I never would of thought that I would own 3 Leica m bodies....but over the last 3 years, I have been lucky enough to have been able to purchase "back-ups" in case something goes wrong with one of my cameras while I am out shooting.......I don't need anther one and to be honest, 3 is a little excessive for me, but the M3 is in such nice condition, that I can't bring myself to sell it....

cheers, michael

There's a Leica CL too, but that's not an M body...

M3ss and M4 - both of these found me, rather than me actively seeking them.

Where's the "not enough" option? (Just the M6TTL for now, eyeing an M9)

Once I had four at the same time (M7, M4-2, M2 and M8.2) but considered after a while that I could do with one digital and one film. Sold the M7 and M4-2, bought an M6 classic user, sold, bought an M6 TTL (regular black), was stolen in the mail, later bought an M6 Millenium.

What sell your wife for another M? Seems a little extreme, but if it was her idea ...
