| | | I guess it depends on what type of look you wish to get. I suppose you rather stick to medium format 120 or 220? Twin or single lens? interchangeable backs? Known brand to easily get new parts? (I can't think of any medium format Kodak camera at the moment). 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9. 6x12, 6x17? Personally, I'd rather stick with the mostly known brand like Hasselblad, Mamiya, Bronica and the likes. I wouldn't consider buying Kodak, which I've never been a fan, at all. I do not find this to be much expensive, but it depends who much you're shooting with. a 120 roll is around let's say 5$ and pretty much the same to develop. If you shoot with a 6x6, you'll get 12 shots and let's say you only get 10 good. then you've paid 1$ per shot. Kinda expensive vs digital, but I still rather shoot on film 90% of the time. Actually, I think I haven't used my digital camera since maybe 2 months. Oh yeah, and consider you may wish to scans your shot to post them online. I probably paid my scanner in less than a year. If it can give you an idea, I own a Mamiya 645Pro, Mamiya C330, Voitlandler Perkeo 2 and a big huge muddafurkin 4x5. I have no opinion about that brand thought. I just happened to be that one. (Mamiya) Hope that helps.
*As for folding camera, you'll probably enjoy it at first, then get really tired of it. If you plan on buying a medium format and use it for real don't go for that. They normally are rather cheap for a reason.. I've probably used my Perkeo twice and it's now whatching the back end corner of my room, under a big pile of dust.
