I have four FD mount Canon SLRs that I have basically used up during my newspaper and commercial photography days. They work but if I sold them I would receive next to nothing. I use them once in awhile for odd jobs or when the weather is bad and I don't want to use my electronic cameras. I don't feel that I am a collector because of that. I have three M bodies. My first Leica, an M2, that I bought used with 35 Sumaron for $425 (take that whats-his-name who says you can't buy them at a good price). My M3 which I bought because I wanted something to use with longer lenses. And my M6 which I bought so I could have the built in metering. I keep them loaded with different emulsions and different lenses. Because I have three doesn't make me a collector, just someone more in control of my image making. Carl S.
