I have one! The Art Deco Rolleicord isn't only a photography tool, but also something you can wear. Suit or shirt doesn't matter, you will look like a gentleman. That the Carl Zeiss Triotar is a fine lens doesn't make things worse.

Looks like a carbon-fibre finishing.

Yes, indeed. A fine performer in addition to being an odd camera in looks and operation. Runner ups would be Andy's RB Graflex and a Speed Graphic or Century Graphic.

Unfortunately you are asking for medium format, but just on cool factor alone consider these:

That is pretty weird! Thanks for sharing.

Rolleiflex, either an E or F.

Would a Contax 645 be "cool", or way "uncool"?

There is no such thing like an uncool medium format camera ;)

The red and gold seagull TLR. Oh my goodness.
