All the top ten lists will give you the same cameras. But what else is there? What’s good, but doesn’t cost £1k?

This video is not intended to be a “best cameras”, nor is it a complete summary of all cameras in the world. What it is, is some cameras that I either own, or have used, and can let you know about, to kick off your research.
It has taken me years to discover some of the models that I have, and there are still plenty that I have yet to discover. So for those of you exploring 120 cameras and medium format film photography, I thought I’d show you my “map” so to speak, so you can see where I’ve been, and add that to your own journey planner.
Hope you find it helpful. What cameras have you shot with that I might not have heard of? Drop me a comment below!
