It really depends on what you plan to do with it.

For travel, I have an old Rollei 2.8F which delivers amazing quality.
There are various Twin Lens Reflex cameras which can be purchased new
(including the Rolleiflex), but old Rolleis give great value for money.

Given that medium format typically encompases any system based around
120 or 220 film, you have a large selection of negative formats: 645,
6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 6x12 and 6x17.

You need to do some research on MF, and also figure out what you are
expecting to get from it.
