Three Hassies in there and none of them is an SWC?  WTF? :D

Also, the lack of a Speed Graphic in the list is disturbing.

I would of moved the Rolleiflex up several places, what photographer in the sixties did not have one in their bag even if they shot with something else.

Not to mention the original 1Ds.  That was a groundbreaking camera and a real "coffin nail"

I don't suppose that fully half of the cameras on the list are going to be remembered, let alone used, in ten or fifteen years. The ones which spring out at me as likely candidates for greatness are the ones which either:

a) were the first to implement a new technology,
b) made a previously dodgy technology work usably,
c) integrated a number of technologies coherently, or
d) were simply a productive working tool for decades.

Do you remember how proud the engineers were? A most memorable camera for all times. The nemesis of film medium formats

No Speed Graphic and no Linhof Super Technica?  It should have the Kodak DCS460 in it though. That really was the commercial beginning of digital, well it was for me anyway.

It is a good list all in all I think.

When I got mine, the Hassy and the 4x5's began to just collect dust.

I thought the same thing regarding a Speed Graphic.
