Hey folks, just wondered if anyone has the Yashica 124-G? I'm (possibly) looking at buying one to get a bit into MF, but having been digital for a while now i have no idea what film i would need/where i could get it (UK).

Any feedback/images would be great.
Cheers

I've got one for sale, although this isn't the place for this really.

Shoot me a PM and we can talk about it more.

I am in the USA so I cant tell you where to get it in the UK. I can tell you the camera takes both 120 and 220 film and shoots 6x6cm.

I have one and have had fun shooting with it.

As someone has mentioned, you need 120 film. Try www.7dayshop.co.uk - they have a good selection. I always used either Fuji Neopan 400 or Ilford FP4+ 125 with my Yash - I'd recommend either assuming you are looking to do B&W shooting. If its colour you are after, I'm afraid I can't advise!

Thanks for the input everyone, sorry some may have misunderstood my initial post, i wasn't trying to circumvent the Buy & Sell section, i have my eye on one locally, was more looking for input on quality, film etc.

Once you see that big sharp negative it will be hard to go back to 35mm film and digital just isn't the same.I have a Yashica 635, similar to your 124-G. I have taken mainly black and white Ilford FP4, and developed it myself. I still have a 6 x 6 enlarger but don't use it much. The big prints you can get are amazing from medium format. good luck.
