Many lenses possible too. I went wild. Not necessary but highly recommended.... I can second this. It's nigh indestructible, and with the graflok back, there's loads of options for film / format. I'm in the process of cleaning / adjusting one I bought up recently. It's a nifty little camera.
Since you have a Yashica, I'll note that I'm a fan of the Mamiya TLRs. You could get a C220(plain,f) or 330(plain,F,S) with maybe the 55mm or the 135 depending if your preferences are toward wider or longer. It's not too fancy. But most of all congratulations on the 18 years!
You should be made aware that medium format SLRs which sold new for $3000 with one film magazine and pentaprism, 'normal lens' and one film magazine can be had pretty routinely for $300-600 today, a small fraction of original cost!Eighteenth year anniversary of a life-threatening medical diagnosis (yep, that one), still around, still receiving therapy but maybe phasing that out soon.
Returning casual photographer, and new to MF (Yashica TLR) and liking it, I wonder what would be a MF camera treat.
Something not too fancy, or fragile, so I would not feel nervous about taking it about.

Congratulations !! Since you have 6x6 covered, might I suggest a 6x9 folder for your next medium format pleasure.Eighteenth year anniversary of a life-threatening medical diagnosis (yep, that one), still around, still receiving therapy but maybe phasing that out soon.

Fuji GF670, super nice, IMHO.
If you buy a non-RF folder theyre not that expensive to get up and running if there are issues.A old thread from 2009 on here covering budget 6x9?

Older 6x9 folders: may be difficult to find in working condition, and at a price?
