Have a C330 that I use regulary and slowly trying to get the full complement of lenses. I love the fact that you can put a wide on it. Find it an easy camera to use. Only small problem is that I have to raise it to eye-level and use the loupe in order to focus with confidence.

There is a C220 that I'd like to convert to pinhole and an Ikoflex in pieces with a grumpy shutter. And somewhere in a box another one but I forgot what it is.

I like TLRs, for me they come after SLRs and before RFs.

Ooh, you should never ever talk about selling RF's on an RF forum!

That's just what I'm going to do in order to fund the Mamiya lens expansion. }:

The Ikoflex 1a and Yashica Mat 124G are back in businness again.
The Rollie GX i don't dare touch so i added a Rolleiflex 3,5A to my collection for the roadwork :)
 
I have two a 1959 Rolleiflex T and a 1961 3,5F

They are my cameras of choice, I rarely touch my Leica's or digital Nikons since I found that life is to short not to shoot with a Rolleiflex.
Posted before but...

They just suit my style of shooting....
 
I have two now,a Lubitel 166U,which I thought was kaput after a few rolls with bad scratches, a bit of advise on this forum to use celotape has fixed the problem. Just got a 124G,a little tatty but does the job. I had a C330 with 3 sets of lenses which I sold on years back for a song,I couldn't figure out how to load the film :(
 
I have Mamiya C-330F bodies (3 of them) and a good collection of lenses and accessories. I go through phases. At the moment I'm shooting mostly 35mm (rangefinder) or 8x10, but I have used the TLR in the last week.
 
My current three:

Previously owned a Yashica 124G and a late model Autocord. The Autocords are by far my favorite TLR's to work with. Bright viewfinders and perfect ergonomics.
 
1959 Rolleiflex 3.5F, 1959 Rolleiflex 4x4 Baby Grey, Mamiya C330 and C2.

Just used the 3.5F and C2 to shoot an Antique Wooden Boat Show. I thought it fitting for those cameras.

Getting out of the TLR phase for the moment and going back to the Hasselblad for a bit. It's been non-stop TLR since last summer so they need a rest.

One from the C330:
