Yashica Mat 124G




Yashica Mat 124G, looks very much like Rolleiflex, is 6x6cm TLR camera with built-in external celenium meter. The original price of it was 40,000 yen, which was rather low for this type of camera. For that reason, this tended to be the first camera for beginners to purchase the medium format camera.
One other thing to mention is the light body weight of 1080 grams, which makes it much more convenient to carry out with.
