Rolleiflex 3.5 Planar vs. Yashica Mat 124g | WHICH FILM CAMERA IS BETTER??

Which medium format film camera is better: the Yashica Mat 124g or the Rolleiflex 3.5 with a Planar lens? Honestly, it's WAY closer than you might think.

I shot a side-by-side comparison roll with the Yashica Mat 124g and Rolleiflex 3.5 Planar using a roll of Portra 160 and I couldn't believe how similar the photos turned out. They're almost indistinguishable which basically means that your decision is going to come down to preferences or budget rather than image quality.
