I would like to try out some medium format stuff. If you have a yashica TLR that you're not using much, please PM me. I'm interested in ANY of them from the "LM" to the "124G"

Thanks a lot!

    Hmmm, my dad used to have one. I remember sitting for portraits at Christmastime while he fiddled with all the knobs. :D I'll see if he still has it and if he's willing to part with it.

    Art, That brings back memories. My first "good" camera was a RicohFlex (where the two lenses were "geared" around the edges and both turned to focus). Replaced it with a Yashicamat that had the crank on the side to advance the film.

    Could that have been 50 years ago? Have I gotten THAT old? headscratch.gif

    I don't have either of them or the 2.8 Rolleflex or the black Nikon SP and lenses anymore. :gone
