Stacks of Duncansby, near John o’ Groats, Scotland.

While waiting for the light to improve over the Stacks for the classic landscape view towards the Orkney Islands, I was being buzzed by Fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) who had nests and offspring on the precarious cliff edges below.

Some obvious ones, some less so. In my top 10 cameras, the main criteria is that I have actually owned and used all of these cameras, as opposed to just read about them.

Therefore, I feel well placed to comment on what ticks the boxes for me and what defines a true classic.
