Yashica D

This Yashica was my first TRL and the camera that really got me interested in medium format photography. The thing that first attracted me to this camera was the looks. It's a beautiful design and I think the grey leatherette fits well, making the camera look lighter. It's an all metal design, which of course makes it pretty heavy (about 1 kg) but also somehow seems to make it very stable to operate. You won't want to be carrying this camera around your neck for longer periods of time though. It takes only 120 film (I very seldom seem to need the added frames of 220) and uses Rollei bayonet I filters.
