I remember the old Yashica Mat twin lens cameras, less expensive
knock-offs of the Rolleiflex. Nice cameras (both of them).


I was always impressed by their looks and engineering but I was even
more impressed by what I was able to capture. I borrowed a friend's
Rollei when in my twenties and loved it. Ended up buying a whole Rollei
kit with telephoto attachment for $400 from a retired wedding
photographer. Lots of fun to play with, great images. That pushed me
to reassemble my darkroom to do b&w. Very satisfying to dodge and burn
as if Ansel and watch the results develop. Lot of info on well-exposed
piece of 120 film.

You guys are making me think of digging out my Yashica D and run a few
rolls through it.
