SOMEONE HELP ME! I'm addicted to vintage cameras

In the last 2 weeks, I've bought FOUR vintage range-finder cameras:
Ziess Ikon Contessa LBE
AGFA Isolette III
Argus C-3 "brick"
Argus C-3 Matchmatic

I just think they look cool in their little leather cases. I'm half-way through a roll of film in the Ziess. One of the Argus' came with the manual, and I found manuals online for the others.
I need some 120 medium format film for the Agfa....

It comes in spurts my friend. I get that way with old Nikon lenses. I think I'm ok now.

I'm kinda digging the little tripod!


And I went back on the last (1/2 price day) and found the flash attachments for both Argus'! Now I need some flash bulbs :-)


And there's a new Estate Sale starting on Sunday!!!!
