Yashica Mat-124G
The Yashica Mat-124G is a Japanese medium-format twin-lens reflex camera shooting 6x6 negatives on 120 or 220 roll film. It was positioned as an affordable TLR alternative to Rolleiflex when new, aimed at amateur and student photographers wanting square-format film work.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Mat-124G have landed in the £130–£180 range, with the two logged sales giving a median around £150. As of 2026 the model remains condition-sensitive at saleroom level: clean, working examples with an accurate meter sit at the upper end of what the camera is worth, while cosmetically tired bodies sell for less.
