Originally posted by MD Optofonik Copy that! Yes, I have had my head turned already. When I was looking at the MX and Electro 35 GSN to get me back into film I kept having to talk myself out of a nice Yashicamat. It was difficult but I imagine it's inevitable. Considering the increasing prices of good condition 35mm film cameras (most now cost as much used as they did new) maybe waiting to buy a MF camera is taking a risk on spending twice as much later. Clearly film isn't dead.
Yashicamats are nice, my brother-in-law has one, however like almost all other TLR they are gateway cameras to MF slr
As far as the price of film lately I have been shooting X-ray film in my large format camera and a single shot with it on the 4X5 costs about the same as a frame of TriX in 35mm. So tell yourself that as one moves up in format one saves money on film
Wished it always worked that way
