Yashica TLRs are generally more affordable than other TLRs among the top 5 brands. They are solid and built economically, made in Japan. The weight is also generally lighter.

I personally owned 6 yashica TLRs and all of them performed better than expected. Images are sharp, easy to carry and operate, bokens are beautiful (even much much better 5D Mark II with 50mm prime lens).

The yashica 124G is well sought after as it comes with meter, although the battery for the meter is no longer in production. Users can still find some fresh batt in ebay, mostly in HK.

Yashica D is one of my favs, very affordable, light weight and beautiful results. A very quiet baby and you hardly can hear anything when shooting.

I believe that the Yashica TLRs are still a bit undervalued.

Perhaps up to 70% of Yashica TLR cameras seen for sale today are worth from just $20-$100. These are cameras that, due to their mediocre condition, either cosmetically or mechanically, are not of interest to the serious collector or to someone who wants a great-looking camera and expects to be able to use the camera for producing great images.

Reduce price by around $100 for each of the following faults:
Faulty winding mechanism
Slow speeds faulty
Self-timer faulty
Loose lens board
Loose/faulty focus
Significant dent
Bent viewfinder hood
Missing leg on base
Cracked, split, missing leatherette
Engraving
