[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 45389, member: 3903"] Bob, I did start photography with the family camera (Kodak Brownie), then when I started studying got a Yashica mat 124 too. What a wonderful camera that was. I got really great prints from that camera. I worked mainly in studios with large format in the 70s but was also doing weddings in the summers.

I still have the 90,7000 and 700. And, an Hasselblad with 3 lenses, a few backs and accessories that I keep, wishing that one day there will be a 6x6 digital back on the market for it.
