My first roll with the Yashica Mat 124 G ... Ilford Delta 100 and home developed with Ilfotech and scanned @ 3200 dpi with an Epson V600.

I picked up a yashica mat 124g last year to give medium format a try. The very first picture I took with it is probably the best portrait I've ever done. The rest of the roll was top notch as well. Really impressed with it as a camera.

I had mine serviced last year and as a result have probably run more film through it in a year than in the 10 previously put together. As a long-term SLR user, I've never really got entirely used to the waist-level viewfinder (I find myself bringing it up to my eye and squinting into it!) but I cannot fault the results technically.

I understand. Without the flip-up magnifier, I'd never get the focus right. I'm still not used to the left-right flip. It boggles my brain.
