Metal hinged snap-tight lens cap for the original Autocord. This will probably fit any other Autocord model, and likely numerous other TLR models accepting Bay I accessories (it fits my Rolleiflex). This quality lens cap is not easily found today. Price: $25 plus shipping

*SOLD* Metal vintage TLR shade from the 1950's made by Minolta for the original Autocord. This shade should also fit any other TLR that accepts Bay I fittings. The original finely crafted leather case is included. This item is not easy to find, especially with a case and in this condition! Price: $40 plus shipping

Shipping will be by USPS Priority Post at posted rates (in most circumstances). I will cover the PayPal fee.

I have the Autocord lens pair and the Bay 1 bayonet feature, with the 'snapping' lock, will help keep it from dropping off while on the move.

If you're not using your Minolta Autocord, with a really good pair of lens caps, this is the one accessory you should buy, for that system.

IMO and good luck with the sale.

Eli, yes you are certainly right. The cap design, which is essentially a copy of a late model Rolleiflex cap, is quite clever and easy to use while providing iron-clad protection of both lenses. The Autoreflex cap is also made to high standards like the Rolle cap.
