I recently been fascinated by medium format cameras and decided to get a vintage folding camera... Agfa Isolette III. This was originally made in the 50's and it's compactness and simple mechanism makes it ideal for candid photography. The fact it uses 120 film (4x larger than a 35 mm film), makes beautiful enlargements. It doesn't typically have the light leaks and vignetting like a Holga type camera, but I can't wait to see what kind of photos it takes.
