Another recent addition to my collection. I've always loved TLR's and this one is in beautiful condition!! This is the seventh camera I've picked up from a fellow passionate photographer and he even went to the trouble to order a new battery for it so it doesn't just have to sit on display! I've ordered film which arrives tomorrow and will be trying it out early next week. Can't wait!!!
Yashica Mat-124 G 1970-1986. The last twin lens reflex ever produced by Yashica, and the most advanced. Designed as a Rolleiflex copy, the Mat-124 G features a four-element, 80mm f/3.5 lens set of the better "Yashinon" variety, shutter speeds from 1-second to 1/500th, an aperture range of f/3.5 - f/32, a bright ground-glass viewing screen, a crank arm film advance, and ergonomic aperture/shutter controls. While this camera was manufactured with a built-in light meter, age has rendered them quite inaccurate or non-functional. We recommend using an external meter for optimal results (many smartphone apps are quite wonderful for this by the way). Uses any 120 (aka "medium-format") film.
