Well it's like this:
7 RF's of which two are fixed lens...
4 SLR's [from the "old days]...

1 dSLR
2 P & S digicams
As for use: Four of the RF's are "active" with B/W film, and one P & S is fairly busy.
 
I just had to do a list, so at the moment of writing it is:

Kodak Retina 117
Kodak Retina 013
Rollei 35 (non-functioning)
Zeiss Ikon Nettar
Ferrania Eura (toycam)
Kodak Brownie 2b (a future panorama project)
Hasselblad 500c (recently CLA'd, but up for sale/trade)
Rolleiflex MX-EVS (waiting for it to come back from CLA)
Nikon F2
Pentax Spotmatic (CLA'd, up for sale)
Olympus Pen F (waiting for the mailman)
Argentum LF-camera (5x7/13x18)

So, all in all, not very much... but I intend to get down to under ten cameras, so I that I'll be able to use the cameras.:)

EDIT: Uuhm... okay... I need a rangefinder I guess... ;)
 
Having just sold one of my OM-2's and a lens to partially pay for the M4-P I just bought. I'm currently claim an Olympus OM2N, OM4Ti, the afore mentioned M4-P, an M6, Bronnie etrsi, two Nikon P&S, numerous lenses and pieces of kit. I'm holding steady with seven.
 
Leica M4 and Conax II.. wait, that's my sig! :)

Actually I also have Moskva 2, but it is more of a family item, originally owned by my grandfather.
 
Well I feel like the poor relative .. I only have:

one d200
one m8

but I am coming to the conclusion that only one can survive :) I'm a bit too simple in my outlook on life and don't eaily cope with redundancy.
maybe that could be the start of another thread .. :)
 
Why did I read this thread...let's say I am on the northward side of the distribution with, erm, 17. Didn't realize it had all gotten so out of hand. I'm not even going to look at the lenses. And I've sold some cameras lately, too.
 
Yeah, just one M6 + summicron 50mm and 35mm cron that's all I need. No question: "which camera should I use today?" :) I wish I could also have an M3 as an extra body in case something happens to M6 (tfu tfuu tfu ) ... but $$$$....
 
....And what was the reason I bought my first Cameras? Pity that those wonderful witnesses of times past with bellows or Soviet Rangefinders were sold for a song......
 
I've lost count of the highest number, but to make certain that I am in the running, 284. Lots of fun trying to periodically exercise them to be certain that the shutters and the rangefinders don't freeze up. I just did a bunch of Retinas.
 
"Not enough" is a great answer and certainly implies you won't be saying "I'm done" now. :)

I'm dithering between calling it "not enough" and "too many." But compared to Stanton I'm right at 25% of that, nowhere "in the running". My cameras do seem to run in pairs, though; two of this and two of that, etc, sometimes very much the same and with others they're close cousins.
 
Wow, after 23-odd years of maintaining this affliction I still have fewer than ten cameras around the house. That's a small victory in my book.
 
this will clearly be a gaussian.

It looks more like a log normal curve. Same as mineral deposits.:D

Those of you that think they have too many cameras please send them to me, I'll be glad to give them a home. I have less than 30 cameras and they feel lonely.

This is a heavy tailed, skewed distribution, as Julio has said above.
Taking the log of the counts will reduce the variability and will [maybe] result in a bell-shaped curve. :D
