Bro, I have owned and still use the Yashica 635, Mat, 124G mat 2 versions etc.
They are over rated by the Angmo (who can't afford a Rolleicord and look down on Seagull).
The performance is about slightly better than the Seagull 4A107 in therms of colour, but sharpness may loose out.
Many of them have Seiko copal shuttle issues, and fungus at the rear of the top lens.

There is one selling in Ebay for US$400 serviced by Mark Hama. It is better to get a Rolleicord.
Lua Lua may agree on this. Right?

I second what Nikkornos said.

I was looking at the rolleicord Vb or the Va.

The Vb which is considered more desirable as a last built model, has an interchangeable screen which is a great deal because the screen would age over time.

The Va which I looked at was in a better condition, (ebay).

In the end, I chose the Va. Both cost around the same at 235 usd, though the Va had free shipping to Vpost location.

Oh that goes without saying. A Rollei is a Rollei for a reason.

A cord is light, well made and what I love best is their quality control - I have yet to see a bad sample( from rolleicord 3 thru 5b)!

I hope my rollei will be back into action before CNY. Been away for a long CLA...

Thank you guys, nikkornos, raytoei and lualua for your advice
I'm pretty new to the tlr scene and I'm all ears to suggestions and tips.
I was initially hunting for a seagull here in chungmuro, Korea (holiday) but there were not much tlrs on the shelves. If I could, I would try getting the rolleicord on eBay but I'm really restricted to meet ups locally only.
Need to research more about the cameras I guess :/
@sweat100 your inbox is full, can't send my reply

Hi, my inbox cleared.
As many have said, a German camera is still a German camera. No horse run.
