Ricoh Six folding rangefinder from the mid-1950's. 6 x 4.5 and 6 x 6 format with removable mask (still there!). One pinhole in the paper bellows I will patch with black silicone. Everything works and had the original leather case (needs stitching as always).

Mine would be the Mamiya Super 23 with 100mm f3.5.

The Ricoh Six isn't a rangefinder...

I have a buddy who I sold one of my Fuji GW690III cameras for a great price. He put about 20 rolls through it. I regretted selling it. He sold it back to me for a great price.

Not too old. Rolleiflex SLX.

Technically no, but would you call it a viewfinder? No.

Yes: that's what it has. It's not 'technically not' a rangefinder camera, it's just 'not' a rangefinder camera.
I'd call it a folding viewfinder camera, or a folding camera with a reverse-Galilean viewfinder and front-element scale focusing. Not many of the Ricoh Six made, according to Camera-wiki.

My newest MF camera is a Yashica Mat LM, with a dead meter but otherwise in good condition. I've had it some weeks and not finished a film yet.
