Minolta Autocord

            The Minolta Autocord is a twin lens reflex camera that was manufactured in the years 1955 to 1966. It has two lenses positioned directly above each other and they are coupled so that they focus on exactly the same plane. The top lens is used for viewing and it reflects a mirror image onto a ground glass. The bottom lens projects the image onto the film.

The Autocord is a medium format camera and it records 6x6 images on 120 roll film. A 6x6 image (56mm x 56mm) is approximately 3.6x larger than a 35mm frame (24x36mm). Since image quality is proportional to the film size, this camera can produce much higher quality enlargements than any 35mm camera.The Minolta Autocord is a twin lens reflex camera that was manufactured in the years 1955 to 1966.
