The Yashica Mats were all 120 except for the 124's and 24 models. Both b&w
and color is available in 120 and 220. Assuming it takes 120, you could use
Tri-X b&w. Fairly forgiving film and if the camera speeds are a bit off it
shouldn't be a major problem.

Depending on the model it will be 120 and maybe also 220.
I recommend Portra 400VC or one of the psuedo-B&W films.

Yashica-Mat Film was: Nostalgia

2001-11-12 Thread David Brooks

I have horse shows on Nov 17/18 and Dec2 but nothing inbetween.
Might be a good time to borrow Dad's camera and run a roll,
especially if we get a dusting of the white stuff.
Any film recommendations.I think i may have shot a roll or two
with that camera in my early teens but its all a haze(as is my 
recollection of the 60's).
I beleive it takes 120??Is there only colour or can i get B&W
