Addicted, I Admit
If you read my post from a few days ago you’ll note that I bought yet another camera. This one an old MF one, Yashica Mat 124G, in mint condition. It was so mint that I felt bad for using it. So, the only choice I was left with is to buy another one of the same model for general use. Naturally.
Back to eBay we went. Populated my list with potential candidates and this morning I bought another one… which also looks mint… which went for double my budget… help?
This one is a Yashica Mat 124, the model previous to the G. It has silver metal parts where on the G model they are blacked out. I personally think it looks better with the chrome which is a nice contrast to the black body. This one came with a tele and a wide lens. All look mint but let’s hope they aren’t so I can feel ok to use them and not buy another one.
Last night I bought a Sekonic L-308S light meter which is a nice compact unit. Not as cheap as I thought they would be but hey, that’s photography.
So in summary, I do admit I am addicted and am reminded of a friend who also buys more cameras than he cares to use. You know you’re worse than me Arran. Maybe we need to hold an intervention for each other?

An intervention might be a good idea. Been thinking of getting rid of some cameras but i can think of any i dont want =/
Having 2 Yashica 124’s is pretty cool though. I may/may not have a G soon myself.
Why does camera gear have to cost so much money George!?
