Show off your 120 folder!

I've searched and searched, I've gone through this whole forum... there's no 'show your folding camera' thread.

Let's change this 😎

I want to see your 120 folders!

My 'new' and probably last scale-focus folder. Finished it yesterday
Hot-rodded 1938' Ikonta 521/2. Sporting a very sharp (I think it beats my Rolleicord V's Xenar) post-war Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 105/3.5 (taken from a mid 1950s Ercona) in a Compur-Rapid shutter 😎
Beat up, patched hole in the bellows, but very rigid, smooth and parallel.

One more in the same family. I think my best buy ever:

I'm enjoying my Plaubel Makina III. Folded up it's very compact but rather heavy. But built with Leica-like quality! 🙂 Plaubel used to call it "The Rolls Royce of Photography" in their adverts.

With a single sheet film holder attached, you can see how compact it is. With a 120 Makina film holder it's quite a bit bigger and heavier. But you could put the back in one pocket and the camera in another and go places!

Agfa /Ansco Super Speedex, 6x6 folder with re-done bellows. Folds up very neatly into an almost-pocketable size.

One of my favourite folder cameras: the Moskva-5. Huge 6x9 negatives! And the lens on this camera is actually quite good. When I'm in the mood for burning through 120 film I reach for this camera. Only 8 exposures per roll!

Scrambler's 120 folders by Steve Cramb, on Flickr

My 120 folders, including my Ensign/Welta Frankencamera. Why? The Welta is an f2.9 lens, the Ensignar was f4.5, plus a more versatile shutter on the Welta.

All nice looking 120 folders above. I have a bunch, but below are some I have shown in the 120 RF Folders forum in the past:

Comparison between Welti (35mm), Welta Weltix, and Zeiss Ikon 6x9 (which give surprisingly sharp photos).

And three views of one of my Fuji Six cameras, which is a 6x6 and 645. As you can see, it has the 645 insert, and in the rear view, you can make out the lever on the door which switches between the 645 and 6x6 window.
