I don't find any info or reviews about this strange Mat 124 B.
All i know, was produced in Brasil and don't have the cell sensor.
Any more info, how many was made, what glass have on, the IQ? etc etc

It's an unusual model in the Yashica range.
As you correctly say, The B is for 'Brasil' and the CdS meter is absent, so it's a cut-down 124G which shares most of the other components (and serial number sequence) with the 124G. It was made between 1981 and late 1982/early 1983 and by all accounts, the numbers built were in the hundreds rather than thousands. The lenses were standard Yashinon 80mm f2.8/Yashinon 80mm f3.5 as far as I recall.
