I began my journey in photography as an 8 year-old. I will be 71 in a month. That said, my first cameras were a Rolleiflex K4A and a Jiffy Kodak 620...both medium format. Despite the years of improvement in the Rolleiflex line, I continued to use the K4A's all along. About 10 years ago, I sold-off 83 Rolleiflex cameras...many still new-in-box. That said, I still retain and use the K4A's and have not been disappointed. I also rely on a range of Hasselblads and am now using the 50MP digital back for fast and easy image capture.
The K4 series was so advanced compared to many of the cameras at the time, particularly in medium format. I am not surprised you have been happily using it for so many years!
Great video. I recently bought my first medium format camera, a Yashicaflex AII and I'm looking forward to shoot on this camera. Really appreciate the video although is not the same model, but they share similar features.

I hope you have a great time with it. The Yashica should be a little younger than the K4A both I would say are quite versatile cameras.
