I went to my favorite used camera store today Inside was a young man looking at a medium format camera that the camera store owner was showing him. Well I waited for him to leave and took a closer look at it, a Yashica Mat-124G I asked how much he wanted for it he said $85.00 I told him I would give him $75.00 and he said ok. I looked on EBay and they are over $200.00 there. So I think I got a good deal. It's very clean no damage everything looks like it works fine so I have some film in it now and will see how it works tomorrow. Anybody here ever used one? and what did you think about it?   |

Majic, if it's as nice as you indicate, you did very well indeed. As you've said, they go for much more on ebay. I once owned a YashicaMat - the cheaper cousin of the 124G - and it took excellent pictures. The 124G was their top of the line and very nice. I think you'll be pleased.

I used the 124G at a newspaper right after they were introduced. Nice, reliable camera and a sharp lens. A lot more compact than the Mamiya C220 I just sold.

I've got the older 635 and love it to bits.  |

I second BobM - the 635 is a lovely camera - So's the 'D'.
You've jumped to the top of the range for a great price. Post soon!
Regards - John
