Hey guys,
This is my first try with medium format with the Yashicamat 124G. I brought this camera from Hong Kong being very sceptical about its internal condition. After recieving the first roll, the impression is that the lens is so so, think now I need to eye for a Rolleiflex (I am hooked to the TLR format just running one roll....its awesome).
I was missing the filters though. I till now dont have the Bay I filters
And oh! this is cheap Fuji Neopan 100 film to start with. Have a few Velvia 100 in stock though.

Congrats! Yashica 124G is a great camera , nice samples where did you take this pictures in Delhi, I spent half year there ,perhaps I know it.
I suggest to take 6x9 folder instead of Rollei , due larger size of negative.

Thnaks Attila, this is in Qutub Minar (a UNESCO heritage site). I am sure you had visited this place as this is an unmistakable spot for someone visiting Delhi.
Not that I considered a 6X9, but very few are available in good condition nowadays- Voightlanders are surely on the Radar.... but a TLR is more favored due to its ease of use (and not to mention the attention you get  , people rember the TLR and no the folder)

 Yes I spent many afternoons there, I thought these pictures taken there. I was shocked about iron column and huge tower over there.
Tower surface quality is amazing truly.

Make sure to pick up a lens hood for your TLR as the lenses flare easily...

Nothing wrong with a little Neopan here and there 
I really like the deep black of the first one, combined with the intricate columns right next to the darkness...and then the texture in the shadow areas. Very nice
