  • 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

  • Cheers, much appreciated. Proper getting into medium format now.

    Can anyone recommend a fast colour 120 film ? 800ISO+, saturated and contrasted. Been experimenting with taking candids with the Mamiya, and want a narrow aperture (for good depth of field) and 1/100sec or faster shutter speed. Plenty of choice in B&W for fast films, but not so much for colour ? Portra 800 and Cinestill 800t are kinda pricey for 12 shots.

    Provia pushed two stops looks like it'll work for good light, or just plan Portra 400 of Fuji 400h if i want more muted colours. Kinda stuck for faster colour 120 film
