Maybe yes, maybe no. I have 5 35mm SLRs, 2 35mm RFs, 2 TLRs, 2 6x6 and and old Mini Speed Graphic. Sounds like a collector except for the fact that NONE of the cameras have the exact same feature set and film format. Except the 2 6x6 which are a Salyut-S and a backup Keiv88. I also have a number of non-working cameras saved for parts for the future. A non-collector. JeffW. P.S.
