Proud to announce the release of our latest instructional video for beginners, "Loading 120mm Film in a TLR."
An instructional video on how to load film into a Yashicamat 124G. This camera model is one of the more common selections for beginner’s medium format. It was my first 6X6 camera, and it reinvigorated my interest in photography. I made sure my enlarger could print to 6X6 because of this little wonder.
Lightweight, easy to use, and often priced under $200, used; a secondhand Yashicamat has been the introductory model to 120mm films for a lot of photographers. All mechanical; this version does have a small light meter on the outside; the lenses are fixed in pairs, one for viewing, the other for exposing the film.
The video talks about the basics of getting the film into and out of the camera, with some side notes on how to switch over to and back from 220 films. Easy, step by step instructions that can boost the confidence of a new TLR user.
Or, simply enjoy the video on our AgXphoto.com sidebar, on the right hand side of this page! Or, at the top of this post!
I put that video up everyplace short of the men's room wall at your local bar. It wouldn't take video. So, I wrote the web address there.
