Interest check: Yashica 44 LM TLR with film

I have a VG+ condition Yashica 44 LM

It was Yashica's answer to the Baby-Rolleyflex.

It has, like the big Rolleiflexes the aperture and time dial on top, so you can change them, when looking from above.

Light meter works, probably because the camera was always in it's case.
The case itself is pretty nice, as it has a detachable front cover.

The camera is in decent condition and a joy to use.

It comes with nine rolls of 200 asa color negative film.
The film expired in 2009, but that shouldn't be a problem, as it was kept cool all the time.

Film is readily available at Freestyle and with a small modification, this camera takes 35mm film. There are also film slicers available on ebay, that allow you to cut down 120 film.

Here are pictures of the camera and also some samples from my last roll of Kodak BW400 CN (35mm). When you use 127 film, the pictures will be square format and can be processed in every lab, as the 120 machine can be used with cropping.

Price including the film is

250€ incl worldwide shipping and Paypal fees
