Photo notes:

Super nice 120 roll film Yashica-Mat EM camera twin lens medium format camera (5091489). Give 2 1/4 square format. Has 80mm f/3.5 Yashinon lens in a Copal MXV shutter (speeds 1 sec to 1/500). Has built-in meter (very responsive to light) that has ASA settings from 10 to 400 (accuracy not tested). Aperture range f/3.5 to f/22. Self timer works great, all shutter speeds nice and snappy, lens is clean and clear, and the ground glass focusing screen has a nice grid pattern for ensuring you are level. Hood has a flip up magnifier and a flip down center for a spot finder. Crank film advance (as opposed to knob wind), focusing smooth....folks, this is a real nice TLR for serious use.

Wanted to let you know, I just got a Yashica Mat EM, and it goes up to
ASA 400. Partway through your article, you say that a later model (124G)
features expanded ASA range (25 - 400). The range on the earlier EM is
10 - 400...
