>>179277 >>179278 Do NOT get a seagull. There are a great many used good quality medium format cameras on the market that will be much better than a seagull for the same amount of money.
What is your budget, OP? You can get a decent TLR for around $100 and a decent SLR with lens and back for around $350.
Many people will recommend a Yashica 124G. It's a good camera, but I would not recommend it because the prices have been driven way up by all the idiots buying them who have been told to buy them by other people. Yashica made lots of other TLRs that are also very good and can be had for a fraction of the price of a 124G. There were many other companies that made good TLRs too, and lots of them are available for cheap now.
For an SLR, the best value in a system right now is Mamiya 645 or Bronica ETR or SQ. With any of them you can get a basic kit with body, film back, 80mm lens, and finder for under $350. These are high quality professional cameras that ten years ago sold for many thousands of dollars. For bigger formats, the Pentax 6x7 is an excellent value and the Bronica GS-1 is not too expensive either.
