It hasn't all been about the Trip35, I put a roll through the #MinoltaAutocord a couple of weeks ago. Such a nice camera to use, and a really great lens (maybe I have low standard in lenses?).

I got my #MinoltaAutocord back from long term loan last Monday, so took it out today loaded with #Acros100 as there was interesting cloud action over the Castle. Surprising how quickly you can get through 12 (actually 11) frames. Lost the first as I forgot to meter! It's reminded me, I don't actually enjoy using this camera. Had to take some glasses so I could work out what shutter and aperture was set. Maybe time to move it on, we'll see. #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm

Met my nephew in Edinburgh and had a nice long catchup. I'd quite forgotten what it's like chatting one to one in a quiet place. Normally in group conversations I end up on the fringes, as I can't hear what others are saying, despite my new hearing aids.
Got my loaned #MinoltaAutocord back, too! (Edited, what on earth inspired me to think it was Mamiya!)

Metal stairs inside the Castle. Used for visitors to reach higher elevations.

Nearly forgot to #TLRTuesday , this was from my first proper trip out with the #MinoltaAutocord, a really lovely camera with a great focusing mechanism and another cracking lens (all the TLRs of the era seem to be quality!). (sorry, the conversion on this could have been better).

Trying to keep some #TLRTuesday momentum, this from my #MinoltaAutocord .

As discussed a few days back, I'm an indoctrinated reluctant fan of vintage steam and internal combustion engines.

Annoyingly this scan has made me realise that I have a serious problem in my #darktable conversion flow that is causing some out of gamut pixels. Not a major problem, but I need to work it out.

There's not much to choose between the #MinoltaAutocord and #MPPMIcroFlex lenses. Both lovely more than sharp enough for my eyes, and both give lovely focus fall off.

Travel camera downside of my #MinoltaAutocord : the yashica wide angle adapter doesn't fit it (the viewing lens doesn't attach due to depth). It *does* fit the #MPPMicroflex , though loading that is a touch more stressful. May need to find an original minolta WA adapter

Just scanned the test roll from the #MinoltaAutocord. Hard to tell as the weather was a bit dull, and I didn't get as good a variety of test pics. The lens is definitely more than sharp enough. Going on gut instinct, the #MPPMicroflex feels like it has better overall sharpness. The minolta taking lens could do with a clean.
Still lovely though, and that focusing lever is a dream (it's hard to go back to the knowledge focusing on the MPP -
The first roll from my new #MinoltaAutocord is drying. Looks good after a quick glance. This is actually my second roll but I had a problem with the developer on the first. I really like the focusing know. Less keen on the crank. Its also *very" easy to nudge the self timer. Loading/unloading is nice too.

I seem to have a medical condition that means that globally stupid political actions cause me to buy a TLR.
This week it's a #MinoltaAutocord! Got it for cheaps on ebay, all looks good so far (ignoring the flappy bits of leatherette lifting, should be easy enough to fix).
Shutter speeds, aperture, focus racking, self timer works (always a good sign of general condition). The ground glass is a bit dirty, but generally all good. -
