I'm sorry to ask such a basic question to obvious Yashica TLR experts, but I hope you can lend some insight to a Yashica TLR "newby". I recently obtained a...

Hi Keith: I will offer a few comments, however I have a Yashica 24 which I believe is essentially the same as the Mat124 & 124G. I waited to respond to you, so...

Yes it does sound like no power is going to your meter. I had a flash with corrodide contacts and it also did not seem to work. I went to "Radio Shack" and...
A friend let me borrow his Rolleicord III, and I'm impressed with those 6x6 negatives! Now I have $175 - $200 to get a TLR of my very own. Which should it be? ...
I took some shots of the Tribute in Light memorial in New York with my 124G. I posted a proof in "Fordo's" photo album. I have hi-res negative scans (without...
Hello Again Keith: I need to correct something I said in my message to you yesterday. I checked the operation of my Yashica 24 again last night, and found the...

You can check out eBay to find a hood. Look for a Rollei Bay 1 hood. The Yashica hoods are a lot rarer on eBay and usually end up costing a ton. I bought by...
Keith, The contacts on the battery on the 124-G are subject to breakage. It seems to be a pretty common problem. BTW, I wouldn't worry about the built in...
I think it probably is a Coke and Pepsi debate. I've had very little dealing with Rollie. My high school had four twin lenses, three were Yashicas and one...
Thanks Jim. The miracle is that it came out at all. I arrived at the Jersey City site with all my gear ready to shoot with one exception, I forgot my shutter...
To: James Carpenter I recently purchased on eBay, a nice Yashica 12 for my graduate art school son, and I nice Yashica 24 for myself. Both of these have the...

In my opinion, "Coke/Pepsi" pretty well states it. I might give a slight edge to the Yashinon lens. Best TLR--Rolleiflex with the Zeiss lenses. Rolleiflex...
Either one, Yashica or Rollei would be excellent. This is a matter of whatever personal preference you have. I know Rolleis tend to cost more. Keep in mind...
I just recieved my Yashicamat 124G back from Mark Hama ( www.markhama.com) after a full CLA. The camera had quite serious haze on the taking lens on the...
It would be helpful to know what the price is for Mark's service. Is there a standard price for CLA or does it depend on the work that needs to be done?...
I had the same question, so I sent an email to Mr. Hama, and here is his reply to me. I have a Yashica 24 TLR. C.L.A will be $85.00 + $8.00 shipping charge it...
The enemy of any mechanical camera like the Yashicamat is dirt in the mechanism or mildew in the lens. Keep it in its case when not in use, keep some of those...
You can get a pretty good, plastic one, new from camera depot for about $5.00. Check their website: www.cameradepot.com. If you want a metal one like to...

FYI I bought both the lens cap and lens shade from camera depot - they are both of very poor quality - the plastic cap cracked before it even left the house....
I purchased a couple of the plastic lens caps but I also have acquired a metal lens cap. Looking for another. One of my Mats is in excellent condition and I...
