PERSONAL NOTES

After the Ikoflex and the Ricohflex, this was my third TLR, and I fell in love with it. Cheap but good, the Yashica is a good quality but light medium format camera. I used it mainly for fun, but I remember doing some wedding photography with it too.


CONCLUSION

If you want to try a TLR without breaking the bank, this is it.
