The problem for an old Rollei or Yashica is that the finder is too
dark which scared away many potential users(good for people when are
buying the TLRs). solution is to buy a Brightscreen for your minty
Rolleiflex or 124G. the rest TLR are not worth the $120 new screen
investment. At the cost of a Hass lens cap, you should try a 6x6 TLR,
especially Rolleiflex or Rolleicord(V, Vb, Va, III, IV).
Everything has its limitation. just stay inside the line, you would
be fine.
