Hi Marvin, I had quite a few of various TLR's and found the older Yashica-Mat , although in lacking features seemed well made, easy to use and gave fair results. I owned several Yashica-Mat-124's and the like that were ok but not as substantial as the Rolleiflex or Rolleicord. For the current cost I would prefer a Rolleicord.The Mat-124 still seem pricey. The Mamiya TLR rivaled the Rolleiflex as far as results. . I Had all of the lens and most accessories. The cameras and accessories were heavy and bulky and I later found that the Rolleiflex was easier to use and could better suit my limited MF needs as a non-professional.

Is there one that rivals the Rolleflex? Marvin Wallace.
