Camera ID quiz: What camera is John Gossage using?

[RFH]

I was watching the fabulous BBC series called Genius of Photography – if you haven't seen it, it's hereby highly recommended. In episode 4, John Gossage and Martin Parr are on a road trip shooting all kinds of stuff. But what camera is Gossage using? It seems like a MF of some kind, but I can't figure out exactly what. See for yourself at 1:45 onwards right here.

maybe...

maybe...

a Koni Omega model of some sort- he seems to have two of them, probably different focal lengths, and Koni made quite a few different 120 models of the camera.

One of John's cameras looks to be a Simmon Omega 120

I guess this was for “Looking Up Ben James”? Thanks for the info.
