Heavens! I have four of them..I love the Mamiya C220 and the pics are very clear but almost tooo contrasty. My YashicaMat produces lovely negatives as does the Ikoflex, and I love using an ancient Rolleicord sporting uncoated 4.5 Triotar. How many have you got?

Hmmm, I forgot to add my Ciroflex D to this group shot ;)
 
Rolleiflex 3.5E, and a Flexaret VII. The latter is my father-in-law's old camera, and doesn't see much use although it's a nice camera. The Rollei is my favourite camera, ever.
 
I have some Rolleiflexes, the 2.8 A, C, E, and F. I just need the B and D. I also have a Minoltacord and Autocord.
 
Yashica 635. Really enjoy shooting with it, but am stricken with the "well, what about a Rollei...?" disease, constantly wonderfing what if.
 
Rolleiflex Standard, Rolleiflex Automat X, Rolleicord V, Yashica LM44, Seagull.
My favourite is the Rolleicord V, almost like new and such a joy to use.

Oh boy. Seven Rolleiflexes of various vintages, 3 Rolleicords, 3 Autocords, 3 Diacords, 5 Yashicas of various models, 2 C220s, 4 Ikoflexes, Kalloflex, Rollop, Primo Jr. Several in need of work but I'm counting them anyway. A Sawyer''s Mark IV and Baby Rollei soon to arrive. I think that's it.
 
An addict's confession:

Rolleiflexes: one "old" and one "new" Standard; a T, a 3.5F (planar);
Rolleicords: one lla, one Vb;
Ikoflexes: three (can't remember model numbers);
Mamiyaflexes: one C3 and one C330;
Walzflexes: two;
Fothflex: one;
Yashica A: one;
Rollop: one;
Lipca: one;
Lubitel: one.

Far too many!

All work well but I only use the Rolleiflexes T & 3.5F, the Vb, and the Lubitel with any regularity (the Rolleis in rotation).

I should dispose of the rest but just can't bring myself to...

Regards,

Over the years, seven Rolleis have adopted me as their custodian :

Early grey T
Late whiteface T
3.5E
2.8E3
3.5F
Tele Rollei (x2)

All in great shape, all used regularly, all treasured for their mechanical and optical excellence...
 
I gave one to my son-in-law, so I am down to 3: Yashica EM (non-working shutter), Rolleiflex, and Welta Perfekta.

Some of you guys need to let go! ;-)

But I really have no room to talk with about 12 9x12s, and probably 15 SLR. ;-)
