The Yashicamat a successfully scaled down Rolleiflex knock off which is an average to above average performer which it is in operating condition. The Yashicamat being a drop in the barrel in comparison to the Rolleiflex. Sure he probably owns and uses the Yashicamat 124 G and does ok with it. But he still should have not only mentioned but got a sample of one. Which is quieter for instance? The Yashicamat 124 G or the twin lens Rolleiflex? The Rolleiflex took more pictures LONGER (more decades) than any other camera in history except perhaps Leica rangefinder cameras and it could have been them too. It beat the Speed Graphic and that was no mean trick.
