Rankine can't be used for coolness- it's used for rankness. E.g.: "I think that's rank!" "Yes, quite rankine."You could at least give a conversion chart or formula.
I propose degrees Rankine, Kelvin is already used for color temperature.

We should have a list of all medium format cameras with their coolness factor expressed in Milli-Fonzies.

No. Temperature, measured on the Kelvin or Rankine scale. Fonzie was an ignorant yutz, not to mention a character on a TV show. TV is highly uncool.
Obviously Arthur Fonzarelli scores 1000 milli-Fonzies so just compare everything else with him.

Horseshit. Tradesman tools have their own kind of cool. Part of the cool of a Hasselblad is that it's such a capable tradesman tool.
There's just not an obvious measure like the milli-Helen for beauty (you know - if Helen of Troy was the face that launched a thousand ships, enough beauty to launch one ship is one milli-Helen) because there's no agreement on what is cool much less just how cool different things are WRT each other.
The impression I'm getting from this thread, is that ALL medium format cameras are 'cool'
No harm, no foul. (or is it fowl?)... This is APUG. Perhaps I remember the days when a camera was a tool in the eyes of a serious photographer. A 'cool' camera? Givemeabreak. I shoot what works for me.
1.) The only camera I have bought new 1985 Nikon FM2.
2.) Mamiya rb67 Pro with about 7 lens, both waist and prism finders.
3.) Borrowed Mamiya 645 (borrowed from my daughter whom I gave it to).
4.) Mamiya C220 65mm lens.
5.) Various 3x4 and 4x5 Speed and Crowns.
6.) 3x4 Graplex
7.) 8x10 Deardorff.
Any 'cool' cameras in the lot?
