What Are Your GOAT Cameras?

The Canham MQC57 with 5x7 and 4x5 backs + the Canham 6x17 automated rollfilm back.

The Pentacon Six is the 80s Corvette of cameras.

I guess this means that the 80s Corvette broke down easily? Because the film transport mechanism on the Pentacon Six is made of hardened bubblegum.

The Kiev 60 is the tow truck she rides upon.

Yes, the Kiev 60 is a more reliable machine. And contrary to what one would think, it has nothing in common with a Pentacon Six or Praktisix.

80s sport cars are sexy, but usually unreliable, yes. My friend who enjoys working on cars bought one and sold it out of frustration a few years later.

I only have five cameras, all of which are Canon F1s, two F1ns, and three New F1 AEs.
