The Yashica Mat-124 is a **twin-lens reflex (TLR)** medium format camera produced during the **1960s**, built around the **120 film format** and generating **6x6 cm** square negatives. It also accepts **220 film**, giving shooters the option of more exposures per roll when that stock is available. The **fixed lens** configuration is integral to the TLR design — two matched lenses handle viewing and exposure respectively, with **manual focus** being the sole focusing method. The **leaf shutter** sits within the lens assembly, a hallmark of TLR cameras that brings practical benefits for flash work. Speaking of flash, the Mat-124 offers both a **cold shoe** and a **PC sync port**, accommodating a range of external lighting setups without electronic TTL dependency. At **1,120g**, the camera has the reassuring heft of a well-built mechanical instrument from its era. For photographers drawn to medium format film, the waist-level TLR experience, or the aesthetic and discipline of vintage photographic tools, the Yashica Mat-124 presents a capable and historically significant option.

Produces 56x56mm square negatives on 120 or 220 film, offering significantly more detail and tonal range than 35mm formats.

6x6 Medium Format Negatives

Separate viewing and taking lenses allow waist-level composition through a bright ground glass screen without disrupting the exposure.

Accepts both 120 and 220 roll film stocks, giving shooters the choice of 12 or 24 exposures per roll.

120 and 220 Film Compatible

Built-in leaf shutter syncs with flash at all shutter speeds, making it straightforward to use off-camera flash outdoors.

Leaf Shutter in Lens

Fitted with an 80mm f/3.5 Yashinon lens, a well-regarded optic that delivers sharp results across a wide aperture range.

Fixed Yashinon Taking Lens

Focus is controlled via a front-mounted knob that moves both lenses together, offering a deliberate and tactile shooting experience.

Manual Focus Operation

Both flash connection options are present, making the camera compatible with a wide range of vintage and modern flash units.
