Best Medium Format under $1000
Michael Hadac states:
If you want to try MF photography for cheap do the following: Search eBay
for Flexaret camera (III, IV, VI, VII). These are about $40.00 cameras with
an excellent reputation!!! I use mine (Flexaret IV is best) for about 20
years and it will do what Mamiya will do as well.
Dunno what this is doing in a woodworking forum, but I just bought a Yashica
Mat 124G 120/220 roll film camera from ebay. It's in great shape, with almost
no wear, and I paid under $100 (barely) including shipping.
I used one of these back in the '70s, and got some fine photos. And it has a
meter, though you do have to find a Wein 1.35 volt battery for it as there are
no more mercury batteries (suggestion: do NOT buy the batteries off ebay, as
they're about 1/4 the price of the Buy Now at reputable U.S. camera dealers).
