    Default Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera users?


    Hi mga bros. Anyone here using a Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera? Share lang ko.

    After a bit of a problem with Fedex, I finally got my Minolta Autocord. This is a medium format manual focus Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera that was manufactured between 1955-1966. I scored it off E(vil)Bay for $55 bucks. The copy I got has minor scratches here and there but it seems to be working fine.

    The taking lens is the legendary 75mm Rokkor f/3.5 that's known for it's good sharpness and awesome contrast. The focusing is smooth and the shutter is crisp but at lower shutter speeds it seems that it might be off by a stop or two.

    Anyway, I still need to send it to a camera specialist to get a full CLA (Clean/Lube/Adjust) done. I can't wait to get my hands on a roll of film to test it out. Excited na ko!

    Some pics:

    I've always wanted one... there's a medium format TLR
    selling at a garage sale down the street. Unfortunately
    the bellows needs to be replaced. But it seems to be
    in working condition but after a lot of cleaning. polishing,
    and elbow grease.

    I also found this 35mm version on Facebook...

    Blackbird Fly available at Oh Shoot! Toy Camera Shop
