12 Exposures with the Minolta Autocord

 The Minolta Autocord is a twin lens reflex medium format camera from the 50s and 60s. It was made by Chiyoda Kogaku Seiko company of Japan. As with all TLRs, there are two lenses through which you compose and expose your photograph. The 'taking' lens in this case is a 75mm focal length, 4-element Rokkor lens with a minimum aperture of f/3.5. These lenses are extremely sharp, you'll see in photos later.

I have a couple of these, and have sold some as well. They often can be good fixer upper deals on eBay, and I find the apertures to be particularly robust to aging. The exposure timing is typically in excellent condition after a naptha cleanse. The one below had quite rought leatherette, so I replaced it with a blue leather for some character. 

I've been shooting these for a couple years now, and really love the lens. I find it performs well for both B/W and color. Here are 12 exposures, from different rolls.
