For me photography is a hobby on the side, not breadearning business. When traveling on business, I can only dedicate limited space and weight for my photo kit. A TLR is tbe largest 6x6 I would be willing to carry. More important, there are limits for adding accessories! As an intermediate step for trying out, I purchased a Yashicamat 124G. Besides the larger negative, I was curious about the different, generally slower handling: larger screen, square image, waistlevel finder (I am facing more and more problems finding the level of my waist). I didn't like it. Finally I didn't want to invest, space and moneywise, in an additional line of 6x6 enlarger or slide projector. Perhaps slow film, or that Gigabitfilm is an alternative for occasional use. Hans-Peter
