Selling my YashicaMat 120 twin lens reflex camera with the 80mm f3.5 Lumaxar in a Copal MXV shutter. Body is in fine shape with just a few marks of use over the years. Glass is in fine condition with no fungus and just a few tiny cleaning wisps on the front element. Shutter fires on all speeds including B and to my ear and from photographs I have taken speeds are close to accurate. 1 and 1/2 second are likely 1/2 stop slow. Ground glass screen is clear and focusing is smooth and focusing hood opens and closes smoothly. Camera back opens and locks as it is supposed to. I just ran 2 rolls of film through it and they turned out fine - one roll is shown in photos. Comes with a leather carrying case that has seen use but is still useful. Will need a new neck strap. I have never used the self timer on this camera as I have read they are liable to cause problems at some point and I do not want to tempt fate. A nice lightweight classic camera with a sharp lens capable of fine results.
$132.00USD plus shipping to Canada and USA
