Which Camera model/company you like the most (1950 to 1970) and why...

I would like to know which camera system of the 1950-1970 you like the most and why ? Is it a camera from RCA, Marconi, Philips-Norelco, GE, EMI, Bosch, or other ?

For my part I like very much the RCA TK-11 and the Marconi MK11. I like the fact that the orthicon tube was in the middle of the camera and all electronics were around. Also we have a set of prime lenses made by Kodak Rochester: a wide angle 50mm, a normal lens 90mm, a small tele lens of 135mm plus another place for the small Zoomar . For the colour system, the RCA TK-41 was my favorite and I had the opportunity to see a real one at the RCA pavillon in 1964 at the New-York World's Fair. All comments are welcome...
