Anybody else see that ad for a financial company on Public Broadcasting where they show a Yashica TLR being handed down from family member to family member through generations of time.. just like your financial portfolio should be. I think they had the wrong camera.
Rolleiflexes are an addiction I believe. I have lots of reasons not to use mine but they keep showing up on my counter and following me around the house.

E- I agree with you!!! I disassembled one of the later model Yashica TLR's with the built in meter. While the camera looked excellent on the outsidethe working parts and assembly did not compare with the Rolleiflex or Rolleicords.

Optics aside (not that an amateur like myself could really take full advantage of them) the construction is truly a marvel. What a privilege it is to own one. Not ever having the ability to make the comparison before,I know enough not to be surprised, but I'm impressed even more. E.I think the build difference is obvious from the other size of a medium sized room. ... With the lights down low.
