Too many TLRs?

Good grief john, surely you can't be serious? Just four TLRs?
Four Rolleiflexes, four Yashicas and a handful of Mamiyas, Microcords, Autocords, Flexarets etc. might form the basis of a starter collection, but just four is a feeble effort!
You need to spend more time on fleabay.
 
Well,

Well,

Ha, ha I think some of you have spent too much time on the Bay.😀
I too,would like to get a Rolleiflex at some time..something may turn up, but the 6 x 6 format is great to use, and, we don't have to think about which lens is best for a partcular shot.
 
I have 6 'Flex's including Automats to a newly acquired mint 2.8F, one Rolleicord Vb, one Rolleiwide with Zeiss 55mm, one Kalloflex, two Autocords. I am exclusively a film shooter and am leaving 135 format behind for 6x6 and larger.
 
I have a Rolleiflex 3,5F and a Rollei T. I would like and will get a pre-war standard with un-coated Tessar or possibly an Art Deco Rolleicord some day.

But I sold my collection of pre-war Baby Rolleiflex and nearly all Yashica 44 (each version in nearly each color), ~15 pieces, I kept only the two post-war Baby Rolleiflex…

I was getting ready to brag that I only have one, a Yashicamat 124g but then remembered that I also have two Argus 75's...they count too...

Having looked up the Argus 75, I'm going to say it's not a TLR, but a Pseudo-TLR box camera, like the Kodak Duaflex and Brownie Hawkeye.

I have three TLRs...a Recessky toy TLR and two Yashicas: A Yashica 635 and a Yashica-Mat 124. I have a partially broken Yashica LM on the way, that may donate its yashinon lens elements to the Mat, which has coating damage on the taking lens. Both the Mat and 635 are the Yashinon versions 🙂
 
I have a Rolleiflex w 75mm f3.5 Xenotar and a Rolleicord.
I really like to have a Wardflex, an Autocord,
Ricohmatic 225, Diacord G and L,
and an Oylmpusflex.
Please post pictures if you have them...Thanks!
