I've rarely used film cameras, and I've never lugged around a TLR system.

However I can't get my mind off owning a Rolleiflex and I've got some extra cash burning a hole in my pocket. I want a medium format camera for my travels.

Instead my friend turned me onto the Yashica 124-Mat G, saying it would be cheaper and something not as luxurious to lose in a worst-case travel scenario.

What do you think /p/? Is it gonna be a hassle for an amateur photographer or a good entry-level medium format system? (also do you prefer 120 or 220 film?)
