What about a folding camera e.g. Zeiss Ikon?

They're a bit primative and lenses are a bit slow for handheld use in winter but the glass quality is decent and they're pretty cheap....

After reading up about cheap compact 120 cameras I ended up going down a rabbit hole and just bought one of these for £25. Got one with the f4.5 lens so hopefully with Tri-X pushed 1 or 2 stops it's be fine.
Didn't realise there was so many cheap folders out there.

In the meantime been enjoying my Mamiya C330

Sounds like the same one as me.

I really like the first tree shot

Thanks, and yes that's the one. Does lining the red dots up on the aperture and focus rings work well to get hyperfocal distance ? Manual reckons 13ft to infinity.

I can see myself using 800 or 1600ISO film and using it as glorified point and shoot with the dots lined up, and adjusting shutter speed to suit.
