I think I got lucky because the person had listed the camera as "Yashica Camera Med Format", not Yashicamat. Most people will type in Yashicamat or Yashicamat ...

Great shots! I like the colored horse against the B+W background. <br><br>I purchased a 124G about a month ago myself, and it is a new world of photography for...
I am just curious . . . has anybody ever compared the final images from their Yashica 124G Mat with other much more expensive cameras . . . perhaps even a ...
