Description
A Minolta Autocord, which is a classic Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) medium format film camera. Produced by Chiyoko (later Minolta) between 1955 and 1966, it was designed to compete with the high-end Rolleiflex cameras at a more accessible price point. It typically features a 75mm f/3.5 Rokkor taking lens, known for its high image quality and sharpness. Unlike many TLRs that use a side knob, the Autocord uses a unique bottom-mounted focusing lever, which many photographers find faster and more ergonomic. Most models are equipped with reliable Citizen or Seikosha shutters. 6"H x 3.5"W x 4"L Good condition.
