yashica mat em vs minolta autocord cds iii

but I believe the top-end Rolleiflexes are the only TLRs offering a moving-frame parallax compensation and with the option of an f/2.8, 5-element taking lens. If you are in the market for a Rolleiflex it would definitely help to do some research on what you are buying before you drop too much cash. There are some other fairly recent threads here on this topic that might also be of assistance.

I have some Autocords and some Yashicamats that are just as durable and take just as good of an image as some of my Rollei's and at a fraction of the price. In many cases you might end up paying a little more for a Rollei just for the name. Much would depend on which models you are comparing. I own all three in many shapes and forms. the bright screen on the rollei plus the 2.8 would be great. i have a yashicamat and its a wonderful camera, but i've heard that the 124g's have some plastic parts that scare me, considering its about $120 to fix. to find a nice 2.8f would be great but it could cost you $500 or more. its built strong to last and thats why it goes for so much on the internet.

I think the rolleiflex is a good camera due to its longevity. I am wondering how these three cameras would compare?Īny special virtues or drawbacks to each?
