I second the recomendation, and add another note.  Mamiya makes two
medium format TLR cameras which also have *interchangable lenses*.
While these cameras are significantly more expensive than the Yashica,
they are truely "system" cameras with interchangable lenses, focussing
screens, and viewfinders.  You can even buy two focussing hoods with
built in through the lens spot meters.

This system was my choice for getting into medium format and I love
it.  I needed the interchangable lenses, and this was the absolute
cheapest way to get it in a 6x6 negative.
