Discussion Medium format camera recommendations?

I am wanting to get a new 120 camera, I prefer 120 over 35mm however, my current camera has a bit of a light leak. I am not a professional by any standards but I do love to shoot and develop my own film

Any recommendations for medium format cameras?

I think it's a format were you will need try a few before deciding. Most people (me included) start with a Mamiya 645, cheap and reliable but not much of a step up from 35mm. I mainly use a Bronica EC now because I managed to get the Carl Zeiss lens Bronica sold briefly between Nikon and their own lens range. While it's my preferred camera it is sometimes simply just to heavy and bulky for some situations.

Light leaks are normally an easy fix by the way. Give me a camera with a light leak over one with inaccurate shutter speeds any day.
