Nice list you have there pepper.
Hi I am new on the forum, and stumbled across this post last night. Its nice to know I'm not the only one with this addiction, but more scary it made me stop and have a count up on the cameras I have accumulated. These are all working with new light seals, here goes...
Canon AE-1
Canon Canonet 28
Canon rapid demi 1.7
Canon FTb
2 x Olympus Trips, (silver button with custom skins and a black button with original skins).
Olympus Pen EE
Olympus Pen EES
Olympus Pen EES-2
Olympus Pen EE2
Olympus Pen EE3
Olympus 35-SP
Olympus 35-RD
Olympus OM-1 MD
Olympus OM-10
Yashica ME-1 (custom skins)
Yashica Mat 124
Yashica Mat 44
Praktica FX-2 (one of my favourites, its great fun to use)
Praktica MTL3
Rollei XF 35 (custom skins)
Rollei B35
Gaf Memo 35 ET (custom skins)
Vivitar 35ES
Chinon 35EE (custom skins)
Rollop TLR (most of the knobs have fallen off this but it still works and I have to use a tooth pick to open back door)
Contax IIa
Zorki 4 (my first camera and where it all started)
Krasnogorsk FT-2 (I still have to use this camera and will soon)
Minolta Hi-Matic G
Minolta Hi-Matic F
Ricoh GR1s
Without digging too deep into boxes, cupboards, and the shed there must be in the region of about 50 more cameras that need attention before either being sold or entering my collection, most of these are range finders and a couple of slr's. These are currently on my shelf to be refurbished next, all of which will enter my collection:
Konica C35
Konica C35 V
Konica C 35 Automatic
Ricoh 500G
Ricoh 500GX
Olympus 35-RC
Olympus 35-EC (There is a question mark over this one due to missing parts, I do have 2 x 35-ECR's so I am hoping to be able to salvage parts from one of them for this camera)
Olympus 35-ECR
Then there is a list as long as my arm of the cameras I have owned and sold, because I didn't like them or because they were horrible to use like the Hasselblad 500CM, it's not quite ideal for the type of photography I like to do so I sold this recently to fund more camera buying! :bonk:
I think it is safe to say I have the 'compulsive camera buying disorder'.
To see the kind of work I do to my cameras I will attempt to add some images below.

Scarily close to my list, if I had the nerve to make one - but I do have a few for sale now in my defence 
Ah - you mean you're a CCP (compulsive camera purchaser)
Or, those that buy Russian cameras - a CCCP (compulsive communist camera purchaser)

Anything that doesn't have a small screen stuck on its back will always look better

From memory, there was a short story which began thus :
In a land far away, once upon a time, lived a very angry giant.

There is no saying the sense of beauty some folks have. Some are even willing to marry Katie Price. Ah well, it takes all kind to make the world go around

Someone married you too
That simply goes to show that once in a while you do get someone with impeccable sense of class and beauty.

3 at the moment, though I've no doubt more will be added
I use them regularly, though the C33 is getting more favour. The C33 hefts in at around 2kg, the C330 just a little slimmer but my original (20yr-ish) Benbo copes!
Mamiya C33
Mamiya C330
Zenith 122
