My medium format kit is complete. It consists of 6x6cm (2.25" square) and 6x9cm (2.25"x3.25") cameras. These are nice large negatives that have much more detail and tonalities than 35mm. Better quality negatives but slower to use than 35mm.

This is my Hasselbladski — a 1970s vintage Salut-S from the former Soviet Union. It's a copy of an early Hasselblad with a focal plane shutter. It doesn't have the quality of the Hasseblad but it is inexpensive. You can get good ones between $100 and $200. It's a full system camera with interchangeable lenses, viewfinders, and backs. This has the Vega 12 90mm/2.8 (57mm equivalent) and a waist level finder. Lenses and accessories are inexpensive.

I bought a second one as a backup. This is going to be my primary medium format camera and I want to make sure I will have one that works. This one has the Mir 38 65/3.5 (41mm equivalent) and the prism finder. Great for studio work and for situations where noise isn't a problem because this is one noisy camera. I love the layout and it's fun to shoot.

This is the stealth street shooter. Quite and people don't realize you are taking their picture. It's a Meopta Va with an 85/3.5 lens. Another commie camera from 1950s Czheckoslovakia. These go for around $70. A great Tessar lens. It was a TLR that got me into square.

A medium format camera that you can put into your pants pocket, an Agfa Isolette II from the 1950s. I had to do a lot of cleaning and repair on this one but I only paid $15. I recovered it in leather and freed up the stuck lens but screwed up the shutter. Andrew Yue heard of my plight and sent me a shutter that works. I think it's working fine, now. No rangefinder. You have to estimate the distance which isn't as a big a problem as some would think. Good discipline.

And no kit is complete without a box camera. This is a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model (flash not shown). Much more capable than one would think from a box point and shoot camera.

There will be a couple of more lenses for the Salut-S. There is a lovely 30mm (18mm equivalent) and a nice 120mm (76mm equivalent).
