The photos were taken on the 7th Anniversary Toronto Photo Walk mostly in Toronto's east end.
I might improvise a Gordy's Wrist Strap until I can find the OEM neck strap. Unfortunately, I don't have a camera strap for it, again in Minolta's infinite wisdom went with a proprietary lug system which is a pain in the ass. Turns out there was foam between the waist level finder and the dead meter, I replaced that and cleaned the mirror and carefully dusted out all the debris. Now I did have to clean the focusing screen, which requires patience and steady hands. I was brave and decided to use a roll of Kodak Portra 400 as my test roll, my Autocord's speeds are bang on. How does it handle? Different, the ergonomics take some getting used to if you are used to the world of Rollei.
Even when they made a YAR ('yet another Rolleiflex'), they made, in the opinion of many, the best one of them all (and yes, that includes the one from Brauschweig): Minolta Autocord CdS III. If I find that link I'm posting it for sure as a public service. SonyForNow wrote: Minolta innovation and first to market.
MINOLTA AUTOCORD CDS III PRICE HOW TO
Now I remember one photographer/tinkerer posted on his website how to make a replacement lever in brass, a much sturdier metal. There are a lot of Autocords out there with broken levers. The engineers at Minolta made the fatal mistake of using "Pot Metal" alloy which is pretty weak. The dreaded lever, if you're to stumble across an Autocord chances are that lever is seized up, don't force it. You load the film up top instead of the bottom and you don't have a focus knob on the side but a lever on the bottom. Manufactured between 19, the non-metered Autocord featured an Optiper shutter with speeds from 1- 1/500 second and both M and X sync connections. Well, I found one at Burlington Camera, everything worked except the meter which is no surprise.Īutocords are a different beast than Rollei and Mamiya TLRs. All in all, there were 27 different models of Minolta 6圆cm TLR cameras produced between 19.

I like my Twin Lens Reflex cameras, owning a pair of Rolleicords, a Series E 3.5 Planar Rolleiflex and a Mamiya C220f is testament to that. There is no cure, only temporary remission. If after all this it still doesn't move, then I'm afraid the shutter is bust somewhere and you'll need to get it fixed.Photographers suffer from a disease called Gear Acquisition Syndrome or GAS for short. Alternatively, open up the back and look at the shutter from there. Set the shutter speed to B or as low as the numbers go (usually 1s), wind, then shoot with the shutter held down, and look into the bottom lens.

MINOLTA AUTOCORD CDS III PRICE MANUAL
When (and if) you do get the camera working, it's a good idea to have the manual handy to look at when you first load film into it. The film count will NOT go up as you shoot empty, however (the counter is tied to a mechanism that works only with film inserted). With my own Autocord (non CDS, 1962 "RG III" model) here, I can tell you (with the above note of caution) that when you wind without film you should be able to fire the shutter, and you should be able to wind freely (backwards, forwards, forever, though only 3/4 of a wind is needed for the shutter). The manual states that this can break the winding mechanism entirely.
Shutter lock is ON when the ring dot is next to the shutter dot) then DO NOT WIND THE LEVER. Things to note if the accidental shutter protection is ON (look at the shutter button, there should be a rotatable ring around it with a dot, and an inner ring with a dot.
