| − | __NOTOC__
| |
| − | The '''Yashica Mat-124G''' is a 6x6 [[TLR]] made by [[Yashica]] from 1971 to the mid-1980s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 124G has a four-element, 80mm F3.5 taking lens, of the better "Yashinon" variety. Focusing is via a ground glass screen, with a 3x diopter for critical focusing, as well as a sports finder. The [[Copal]] shutter features speeds 1 to 1/500 sec., plus B.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 124 and 124G are largely identical, save for trim and electrical differences. The 124G pressure plate slides between 12-exposure and 24-exposure settings, while on the original 124 it pulls out and rotates. Before the 124 there were two separate models, the [[YashicaMat 12]] (for 120 film) and the [[YashicaMat 24]] (for 220 film). Both shared the characteristics of the later 124 and 124G.

| − | | |
| − | The 124G also features a coupled match-needle exposure meter, although it uses now-discontinued 1.3v mercury cells. Suitable air-zinc replacements and [http://buhla.de/Foto/eQuecksilber.html adapters] for modern alkaline or silver oxide batteries may be obtained at camera stores and on the internet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 124G can handle both 120 and 220 film, and is an excellent introduction to medium format photography. An artificially inflated demand for the 124G has raised the price somewhat in the used market.

| − | All of these cameras accept Bay 1 accessories, such as those made for the [[Rolleiflex]].
