Das,
MAT124G is an awesome camera. I once worked at a camera shop and did a side by side comparison with a hasselblad and the images were indistinguishable from one another. I bought the Yashica Mat.
Digital paperweight in 50 years? Nahh, try 50 weeks!
I just bought my first digital camera: a C.Pix for the princely sum of $19.95. It wouldn't weigh down a sheet of rice paper! Twenty bucks is all I'm ready to part with at this point. It does have a cmos sensor...
I've been crazy busy, but will post some $20. digi images soon and I promised to p'shop a mullet on some other pic.
Gotta go now.
