This question came from experience and the huge lump sitting between my rather ancient shoulders.

A Mamiya Secor twin lens reflex. I don't recall the model number, or, even if I spelled it right. One lens on top of the other. I had to hold the camera at my chest and look down on the large viewfinder.
It was a medium format camera, using 120 size film. It took tremedously clear shots and the big negatives were a dream to work with in the darkroom. It was 100% manual, giving me total control of my shots. It was a great studio camera, as well, doing tremendous justice to a series of beautiful amateur models.
The camera was, sadly, lost in a burglary, but, at least, financially, the unit only set me back twenty bucks. The 1970s was an up and down period for me.

A Praktiflex EX.
It actually had real fleas in it.

Your photography questions are all of such quality! Where/how do you come up with so many such questions? I really do want to know.
