Camera Porn - Yashica Mat-124G

In this shot you can see the focusing knob on my Yashica Mat-124G, which is mounted on the left side of the camera. The numbers that you see on the knob and above it comprise the depth of field indicator. This is a feature that used to be a standard on film cameras/lenses, but seems to be a rare item on newer equipment.

 

The small window within the center of the knob is a reminder window that allows you to set what type of film that is currently loaded in the camera. Mine pretty much stays on B&W. This is because I keep color film (usually E100G or E100VS) in my Mamiya C220f and black and white film loaded in my Yashica. Since TLR's do not have interchangeable film backs, as many medium format cameras do, this allows me to be ready to shoot either color or B&W whenever I choose.
