List of most popular modern medium format cameras

[MAGNAchrom]

Dear Gang,

I'm looking to create a list of the most popular "modern" medium-format roll-film cameras manufactured in the past 10-15 years (as opposed to those fine antique cameras of yesteryear or toy cameras). Can you think of anything I've missed?

Hasselblad, Mamiya, Fuji, Pentax, Linhof, Horseman, Fotoman, Alpa, Gaoersi, Plaubel, Rollei, Rolleiflex, Silvestri, Bronica, Kiev

Contax

Seagull.

Are you going to expand this to model/series, e.g. Mamiya 6, 7, C, etc?

Mamiya RB67

Gilde

Gee, Michael

Check the rental department at Levines.

Do you include a Canham with a Canham roll film back?

WOCA

I am specifically not listing 4x5 and 5x7 cameras with roll-film backs (that would be another list). However, dedicated medium format view cameras like the Linhof are.

Thanx!

Thanx for the good thought, but I already went there and they certainly don't have EVERY medium format camera. For example, no Gilde's or Alpa's !!! ($$$ I wonder why!? $$$)

Yes that is the idea.

Mamiya RB67

RB67 is almost 30 years old not 10. Though you might say something like RZ67.
