What it is

{"overview":"The Yashica-Mat EM is a Japanese twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera that takes 120 roll film in the 6x6cm format. Because this is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a dealer asking price, retail examples in fully serviced condition typically command more, and condition has an outsized effect on what a body is worth given how few changes hands publicly.","buying_guide":"With any TLR of this age, inspect the taking and viewing lenses for haze, separation and fungus, check the shutter for accurate speeds (slow speeds are the first to drift), and confirm the film advance and frame counter operate correctly. The focusing screen often dims with age, and light seals around the back will likely need replacing.
