Yashica Mat 124

I've been on the watch for a Yashica TLR to have as a "walk around" TLR, when I don't use my Mamiya C330s.  I found this one after it was highlighted in a non-eBay search.  The camera was on eBay, and looked to be too nice to let pass.  It was recently CLA'd, and that was the primary factor in buying it.  Seems to be very nice from the photos, and the seller is on my "favorite" list.  He's always been 100% accurate in his sales.

I've owned several TLR's, Minolta Autocord, Yashica Model D, Yashica Model 635, and Yashica Mat 124G.  All were used during my early wedding photography days, before going the Mamiya 645 and Hasselblad 6x6 routes.  The prices for the 124G are approaching those of the various Rollei's, so I really wanted something priced closer to sanity.

A lovely camera. When I was looking for a TLR (smaller than my Mamiya) The Yashicas I looked at were far too expensive. However I picked up a Seagull cheap. Looks new and works a dream.

Id love an old German TLR (Not a Rollei) as a user but it's hard to find a good condition one in working order cheap.
