?? The Bessa is a folder; the Yashicaflex is a TLR. I'm curious which parts from the Bessa could work in the Yashicaflex (other than the shutter perhaps).

Of coarse its the shutter 🙂

OK, but why the Bessa I shutter? Why not get a shutter from another Yashica TLR?

Yashicaflex B Old model is a very rare camera, it is one of the first cameras yashica manufactured,, its rare to find one for parts. it features NKS FB shutter (probably the last to use, they then shifted to citizen and Copal shutters) which is again rare but 99.7 percent identical to Prontor S and and quite identical to SVS. now I am not in a position to buy any of the donar camera. so looking for some parts (just springs).. And Bessa features an in-shutter cocking mechanism which turns it to be the best cam to looking for spares. at the same time its quite popular too
