Minolta Autocord TLR - a photo on Flickriver

This is a 1961 Minolta Autocord-RG 1st version, with an Optiper MVL shutter & a Rokkor 75mm f/3.5 lens. Some say it's highly underated and is just as good as a Rolleiflex TLR and arguably better than the Rolleicord, which is the TLR it was designed to beat. Its production run was only from 1955-1966 so Autocords are a bit harder to find than other more common TLRs (i.e. Rolleiflex/Rolleicord, Yashica, etc...)

If you're interested in TLRs, you can check out this quick primer on holgablog, which also happens to feature this photo.

Strobist: Canon 430EX flash triggered with ST-E2. Used my white window shades and two white shopping bags.
