I use a DSLR for the “necessary pictures” and wanted to shoot MF for real photographs again, scan the negatives and have real prints at real -gallery- size.
My Mamiya C3 is superb for that, but is a heavy tank to lug around, and my Ikoflex (1b) has a basic lens that i consider not good enough (Novar Anastigmat 3,5/75). That’s why I recently bought a Mat 124 G in mint condition for 200 euro’s, like yours on the pictures. With a customized strap attached, it is a fine, lightweight device and I am going to use it thoroughly. A good camera is not to be left in a cupboard or in a showcase. Use it!

I still own a Yashica Mat 124 G . It is still in working condition but now sealed in plastic neglected. I now use digital cameras

I used to get to use an Yashica MAT (very similar to yours I imagine). I loved the huge ground glass focusing system. I wish I had a modern DSLR with a focusing screen like that.
Sadly the maintenance on it made it to expensive to use.
