Well either someone online had some wrong info, or there were some 124Gs with 1/1000 (it was a 16 yr production run, so its possible some have it) I would say...
Keith: Don't completely rule out the 24. I got a nice one about 2 years ago for about half of what I paid for a nice 12. The 24 will take both 120 & 220 film. ...

according to what I read, the 24 was 220 only... do you just have to manually keep advancing and clicking till the film gets wound in after 12? Keith ... ago...
Wrong, the 124 is 120 only. The 124G is 120/220 which you select by sliding the film pressure plate to the desired position. ... From: ubergroovin To:...
The only diff betwixt the 124 and 124G is the gold contacts. Both shoot 120 and 220; both go up to 1/500 (not 1/1000). Personally, I wish it went lower than...
I recently picked up a Yashica Mat that occasionally stops short when I try to advance the film, i.e. the lever doesn't go all the way through the 300 or so...
I have a 124 and it will take both 120 and 220. Where did you get your information from? I even have an original manual for the yashicamat 124 and it tells you...
Don, I've had similar behavior on mine, with film too. Sometimes, it doesn't advance correctly after the first frame, and you double expose. I've seen this...
Don, I have a borrowed Rollei that doesnt show the film advancing. I finally figured it out, its the little metal geared teeth wheel that touches the film on...
I didnt' make that too clear, I think the Yashica uses the same little gear wheel design touching the take up spool to make it read and work the shutter, etc. ...
There is a very easy way to remember what yashicamat takes what film. 120 film 6x6 = 12 exposures 220 film 6x6 = 24 exposures Yashicamat 12 = 120 film ...
Here is a quation from an eBay seller from a couple years ago. I know from my own Yashica 24 TLR camera, that there are two different labels of where to start...

Yes, I forgot about the plastic cogs. Which means that the 124 may actually be a bit more durable than the G model. ... ...
The same is true of the 124 and 124 G models. You line up the start arrow at different points. And, you adjust the pressure plate for 120 or 220 film ... ...

Here is a good informational site for the various Yashica TLR camera's. It should clear up all questions. http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/yashica66.html WAYNE HANSEN...
Yeah, I almost always use a tripod and stop down. The Mat was hardly ever used before it came to me. It may have been a bad apple to begin with or the years...

I was just wondering if 1.5v batteries can damage the meters in yashica mat 124 and 124g? I know 1.5 will operate the meter, but give innacurate readings, but ...
Go to a photo store and ask for a battery that is compatible with the one specified for the Mat. If they don't have any, you can order them from most online...
