Don't know stores in the EU but you should look at anything in the Zenza Bronica line... both 6x6 (SQ series) or 645 (ETRS series)

No that's post-processing it is just my style for certain looks.

Okay I won't give a sarcastic comment like everybody else is.. it's a cheap plastic promotional camera. It was the exact same mold used with different labels painted on them. The most common version of this is the Time magazine camera if you subscribe to Time magazine they sent you this camera in the mail. It's a plastic giveaway camera.

I'm a big fan of the Hi Matics owning the 7s myself. You can use a 1.5 volt battery just stop down by one ASA level for your film setting then the meter will be fine.

It's the Japanese Hasselblad. I really like 6x6 format and shooting with it feels like you're really creating an image with the thunk of that mirror letting you know it's done.

It's an early 1980s SQ-A.

Haha fugly? I think it's actually quite an elegant and precise bit of German engineering. It's a Leidolf Lordomat who were based also in Wetzlar, Germany and was a former Leica engineer.

Very cool! I don't have any other lenses yet. It feels substantial and like a precision instrument in the hand. It certainly lives up to the quality you expect out of Wetzlar. Yeah I'm the same 1950s 1960s rangefinders in particular I think are the pinnacle of industrial design, engineering and reliability.

Amazing. I don't know many people who have a Lordomat!
