I have had my 124G for 3 years now and never thought to hold it in so many different positions. I am a big self timer fan though. Helps me get the camera steady in low light first before the shutter goes! Thanks for sharing.
I just bought myself a 124G this week. I’m waiting for it to be delivered. This will be my first Medium format camera. I’ll have to look for an orange filter.
Thanks for sharing a detailed and constructive account of life with a 124G. My own encounter with them was with a colleague: he had one and did LP cover photos for musicians due to his square format and excellent detail. i was doing weddings with my Rollei. We agreed at the time that both TLRs were peers.
Excellent video, clear and concise review of a beautiful little camera. I loved the photos also, and the dark orange filter worked really well. Thank you for taking the time. Atb.
When you use a filter, you could perhaps set the ISO ASA on the exposure meter accordingly. So you no longer have to worry for the extension factor when shooting.
Some years ago now I talked with the son of a father and son professional photographer business. They had been in the business for years and used mostly "blads". For some reason they desided to test all their lenses, slow day or whatever. They used the professional charts and equipment etc. and did it by the book. They said they were very suprised by the results when the Yashica Mat 124 proved to be better than the Hassblads in every way. Knowing the son and their stong commitment to doing things absolutly "right" I know the test results were correct.
