Hello group, I'm new here, just subscribed. I acquired a Yashica Mat 124 off Ebay few days ago so thought participating in related community talk will be...
Hi, Group! Keltic_tom gave me a nudge to post some pics taken with one of my Yashicas. I threw in some from my first roll since a CLA on my 124G, and a couple...
Hi all, I'm a newbie. Just got a 124G on Ebay that comes with a set of telephoto and close-up lenses. My questions are: 1. The tele and close-up lenses did not...

Oh sorry, my mistake. I posted similar message to both Yashica Mat and Yashcia TLR groups and the "shy" remark was intended for the first one. (just forgot to...
... I found telephoto and wide-angle sets at KEH.com that appear to be produced originally for Yashica but the Bay I mount should allow for its use on other...

I am a brand new owner of a MAT 124 G that I got from ebay. This is my first foray into mf. Trying to learn all I can about operating this camera. Almost done...

... Congrats! I recently fell victim to the eBay bug, picking up a mint-condition Fuji GA645 to go along with my MAT-124G (which I purchased new in 1986, I...
Hello Rich, and welcome to the group from another new member. I too am coming back to photography after a long layoff, by the way. The difference in noise...
I got my first roll of film back... Wow! What a cool camera. Pictures are amazingly sharp. I had forgotten to turn the film type indicator to Day Negative from...
... You mean the indicator on the focus knob? I don't think that has any effect at all on the operation of the camera - it's just to help you keep track of...
I don't know, maybe it doesn't. All I know is, I took about 7 pictures with color print film and then noticed the selector was set on B/W. I changed it to Day...
... Pure coincidence. The film-type indicator does nothing at all to influence the operation of the camera; what exactly *could* it do, anyway? Why would the...
You are quite right Dana - it doesn't do a thing to the camera, and is just there as a reminder of what film is in the camera. Even then, you only have to...
Boy, I have no clue what happened then. I had the roll developed at a local camera shop. I didn't do anything other than turn that selector. Oh well... We'll...

Thank you for the portrait info, that was interesting. I like the idea of using a nylon to soften the features. I could also probably hold a filter in front of...
Being so close to the lens, all the different meshes and patterns just act as diffusers and neutral density filters (handy if you get caught out by brilliant...

Darin, Rollei has at least 2 filters which soften the image. They are the Rolleisoft 0 (zero) [the lesser of the two] and the Rolleisoft 1 (one)[which provides...
Hello to All ... I have begun to shoot B&W and trying a Rollei-hellrot (light red) filter. The Rollei filter is marked -2 …-3.5. One the first two rolls I...
