Nicely done. Obviously we will all argue that this or that camera didn't (or did) make it in and the idea with starting in 1900 is sort of baffling, but I was very pleased to see the Agfa Clack getting in there  8) :)

They had me at 0:01 with The Sidewinder! The cut at 1:18 was a bit annoying, but I suppose I can just look it up on Spotify for the full track :)

I too thought they should at least have gone all the way through the track...
But at least they had the Pacemaker Graflex

It's one of Lee Morgan's longer tracks, I think it clocks in at over 10 minutes. They could have at least just faded it out at the end of the video...

That was fun.  The "big" one that is missing, for me, is the Nikon F.

And a polaroid that takes peel apart...
And where's the minox... it's probably one of the most important cameras in the world even though it never took breathtaking scenery...
And... what the heck, why not include our own Ed's Coronet Commander...

Only one Leica? No M3 or M6? what the hell, man.

edit: also they should have put in the F rather than the A-1.
