For sale is Minolta Autocord III with Citizen MVL shutter and without meter. I bought it directly from Karl Bryan (repairmen for Minolta Autocords in US) so that should tell you something about the camera working properly
The reason for me selling the camera is that I am trying to get some cash together and get the Rolleiflex FX.
Please notice that this is somewhat rare very late model (Serial Number: 456150) which to my knowledge is one of the last Minolta Autocords III produced.
The camera just returned from Miles (http://www.mwcamerarepairs.co.uk) who fixed the door hinge (little accident on my side) - he also cleaned the interior of the camera and the rollers (one of them was slightly dragging - something that showed up with few last films). So the camera is technically top now. Just to make it clear - this was not a full CLA (which is not necessary)
Condition of the camera:
- the camera works 100% properly
- lenses a are clean and without damage to coating
- no fungus or lens separation
- shutter works properly (I shot Velvia 50 with this camera - it was all as it should be)
- there is no oil on the shutter blades
- focusing is perfectly smooth
- shutter and aperture setting works as it should
- the pressure plate is clean
- the camera does NOT look like new. Please see the photos - there is wear and some missing paint around the corners. This is a camera for users, not collectors
- Please check out the photos!
What is included:
- Minolta Autocord III
- Rollei metal lens hood
- plastic lens cap (holds well in place)
The price: 350
- as usually - I will consider reasonable offers
What is NOT included but available at cost (camera buyer has the first choice of any of these):
- Bay I Heliopan KR 1.5 SH-PMC (multicoated skylight filter) - I bought it new. Price: 35
- Bay I Heliopan Orange 22 filter which I also bought new. Price: 25
- Bay I Rollei close-up lenses (2 pieces of Rolleinar and 1 Rolleiparkeil) - look like new! Price: 50
Payment:
- Paypal or money transfer
Shipping:
- I will ship worldwide, contact me for a quote and more details
