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?

Here are my thoughts on the collective nouns of the collection. Perhaps it depends upon who owns the Leicas (sans apostrophe.)
Dentist = filling or root canal of Leicas.
Attorney = cheat of Leicas (same as the collective noun for attorneys.)
Journalist = impact or dent (coming from multiple bodies hanging and impacting each other.)
Collector = a cleaning or cabinet of Leicas.
Collector who obsessively "tests" lenses = a coating mark of Leicas or a scratch of Leicas, or an OCD of Leicas.
Retiree = a cup or brew of Leicas, possibly a glass or snifter of Leicas.
Cat person = a judgement of Leicas (owing to the collective noun of a group of housecats.)
Camera thief = a fencing of Leicas.
Person who rapidly buys and sells = a searching or next-one of Leicas.
Person who has Leicas as jewelery = an entitlement or a snobbery of Leicas.
Benefactor of inheritance = an ambivalence of Leicas.
Finally, it could be like bison, in that the simple plural may be Leica, as in, "a cheat of Leica owned by an attorney."

A ration of Leicas.
For some this would be considered bare minimum, scraping the barrel...
