 Boy did I love my first medium format camera, a Yashikamat 124. Coney Island April of 1975 using Ektachrome 120 film. The colors and resolution are just superb. I had many more 120 format cameras such as the Yashikamat 124-2, a Minolta Rolleicord, a Koni-Omega, Mamyias of various kinds and finally a couple Rolleis including the one used by my dear mentor and teacher, Josef Breitenbach that I treasure like no other camera. Yes indeed, I loved this format.
