Hey folks,
I posted here a few months ago showing interest in the MF film area. I come from the digital world (yikes!) and while I was planning on selling my digital gear a few months back, I got cold feet and didn't follow through with my plans.
However, I have successfully sold my digital equipment and now have the cash to spend on some film gear. I'm specifically looking at the Rolleiflex TLR or the Yashica Mat 124.
THe Rolleiflex TLRs seem great, but it seems like the Yashica Mat 124 will perform similarly and costs half the price of the Rollei. As of now, I am bidding on both a Rolleiflex 3.5E and a Yashica Mat 124.
What should my price ceiling be? Both are in GREAT condition and supposedly work. BTW, I am bidding on eBay.
Any advice would be great. While I really want to be shooting as soon as possible, I don't mind waiting a month or two to snag a great deal. I still have my trusty Canon A1 SLR to get me through the winter months
Thanks!
Jason
