I had a Certo SuperDolly circa 1933, with a very sharp crisp Zeiss lens. I could shoot 6x6 or 645. It did not have a focusing cell, so one had to estimate the distance and use the focusing scale. One problem was that the window for 645 exposure numbers did not align with the present day film...
When I was a teenager I wanted the Bronica S over any other camera; as an adult about ten years before I retired, I settled for a Hasselblad 503 CX with seven lenses, 2XE extender, extension tubes, and a Hasselblad 903 SWC. I have managed to make due with those since then.
