I own a Medalist II. I haven't used it in years. I have one negative of a sunset photo that I took at Oregon's Cannon Beach over 35 years ago. I still get georgeous enlargements from it. My favorite vintage medium format camera is an Omega 120. The Omega was built in the U.S. and was the forerunner to the Koni-Omega cameras. What was unique about the Omega was that pressing on the shutter release also put pressure on the plate behind the film so that it force the film flat against the focal plane. Unlike the Koni-Omegas, the Omega 120 didn't have interchangeable lenses.
