OT: Got "the Mat"

[GermanB]

After a long wait finally I found a Yashica Mat 124G, just serendipity, it's in mint condition in original case barely worn both viewing and taking lenses are clean no scratches not cleaning marks, shutter blades clean, but there's more, even comes with a PX battery and the meter works!!! works means it's accurate also includes a close up lens last night souped the test roll and results were pretty fine... the previous owner said it has seen just around 10 rolls

definitly I'm going to enjoy this!!!

ohh and the price ... a bargain ~$90 yes $90...

Wow -- you hit a home run, I think! That's a great deal. You'll enjoy this camera -- very easy to use: meter, bright finder, excellent lens. Make sure to get yourself a lens shade; TLRs are prone to flare since the lens isn't recessed.

Congrats, I have one in the same condition, they are really fun cameras and produce amazing results.

Whoa ! Does anybody here remember when this was the star of MF cameras and $300 was a 'normal' price for it ?

Or is this a sign that I'm getting old ?

Man, congrats, the Gods were strong by your side today.
