In terms of operation, this camera is one of the odd one out as compared to the rest in the TLRs. Very snappy with smooth out of focus bokeh. Sharpness is certainly not an issue for this lens be it at the center or corner. The image is slightly more vibrant and contrasty with great amount of details even when shot wide open. Though it was built sometime back in the 60's the image from the Rokkor lens on this camera looks rather modern and almost digital like specially with Pro400H and Pro160NS which I tested on. The lens is the greatest asset of this camera. Equipped with Minolta Chiyoka Rokkor 75mm f3.5 taking lens and Seikosha MX shutter, the camera is a great performer for it's price. Starting off with the humble Minolta Autocord, which one could purchase for around USD 250 to 370 or so for a decent used copy. I will be doing reviews on every single of it and share my thoughts and experience shooting with these beauties. I am a huge fan of rangefinder and TLR cameras and I am thankful to have these few awesome cams in my collection.
