So i needs me some advice
pre-amble for the nerds
Trying to keep it as short as possible, i'm going to buy my girl a medium format camera for our one year aniversary (shes a big dianne arbour fan). She likes seagull's, but i've been doing some sneaky research - without telling her of course -and it seems like Yashica Mat 124G's are a much better option, but arn't in production anymore. So this means ebay/second hand scouring.
Im not in the money enough to splash out on something like a Rollei, but are there any other options to consider
SOOOOOO...
when buying a camera on the internet (more specifically ebay), what should i watch out for. I know to check for things like scratched lenses, mechanical integrity and to make sure they are fungus free, but are there any other clangers to keep an out?
