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

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

Post by: JohnTodd on May 11, 2011, 04:00:46 pm: 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.

Post by: Martin Kristiansen on May 12, 2011, 04:35:18 am: 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.
