Rollei 3.5 vs Yashica mat 124

<p>Both those prices are excellent for both those cameras , i believe from my experiences the best lens on a Yashica was on a Yashica 12 , and found the Mat not as contrasty but both these lens are great for black and white , i feel the Tessar has some thing special to it a signature look , were the Xenar even thou a Tessar design will preform more detail in the shadows but i fond this to be the difference between both camera held side by side , The Yashica has a 80 mm lens were as the Rolliflex is 75mm , now if you dint have them side by side you may not notice the difference but 5mm more is obvious on the screens next to each other , if you want a little more wide angel the Rolleiflex would be the choice , The Yashica has a better screen , and most noticeable in the using it in the night or darker environments , the screen will then let you see it is almost twice as bright and you can compose a image better n the dark , also the magnifying glass is different , i need reading glasses some times to focus and i can almost not need them with the Yashica were as the Rolliflex it is a must .</p><div></div>
