A few cacti to ID

I have bought a lot of cacti from an old guy in the past but he never labelled them. I just bought them because I liked them. Knowing the identity doesn't really bother me just curious if you could help with your ideas. Sorry the photography is a bit blurrred

Wow, almost said the last was an echinopsis clump - the other almost looked like Loph Caespitosa...no is it a gymno, can't be sure, but they were all blurred

Hmm im gonna guess some for of Lobivia or Rebutia for the redish one. Maybe gymno or something for the green?

wow im confused.
1. very strange, skin tells me maybe matucana madisoniorum?
2. green clumper; way confused. Gymnocalycium? Frailea? Rebutia? has it ever flowered? a flower bud would be enough to tell.
3. Rebutia or Sulcorebutia sp.
4. one of many forms of cereus peruvianus monstrose with some crest in the foreground

I was looking at a picture of Asterias cv. Kiko, and it looks alot like a form of that, but i highly doubt it is.
