For Trade To Trade: My Cla'd Yashica Mat 124 for a good folder.

[Chrismat]

Hello,

I would like to trade my cla'd (and flocked!) Yashica Mat 124 for a 6X6 folder like a Voigtlander Perkeo (Color Skopar), Balda Baldax (Schneider lens), Franka Solida (Schneider lens), etc.

If you are interested, I can send photos of the camera and samples of what I've taken with it. I would also like photos and samples from your folder.

Thanks!

Chris

Bump.

Is this a 124 or 124G? I have no folder for you, but might consider purchasing if the price is right.

I have a Zeiss Nettar 6x6, I love a camera that fits in my pocket and takes square negatives. I also have a soft spot for Yashica TLR's. Very tempting indeed.

Folders with a working range finder and light tight bellows may cost more than Mat 124.

Simpler form of folders are good too but guesstimating the focus distance is sometimes no fun.

The camera is a Yashica 124, not the G. Mark Hama did the cla, I did the flocking to cut down on flare that Yashica tlrs can be subject to. I've heard that the 124Gs had more plastic components in their construction. I have a very weak spot for Yashica tlrs too, but I would really like a good folder. I had Balda Super Baldax that I regret departing ways with. I have a case for a Certo6 folder but no camera (long story there) but I thinking a good working Certo6 would cost more than my Yashica tlr.

I have a Solida, but its Prontor shutter hung hideously, and my attempts to fix it did not go well, so it will need a full scale CLA. Thus, your MAT is worth far more than it. If you had a similar project camera, I might consider it.

It did have the Schneider 75 f/2.9 that took some surprisingly good photos wide open.
