Another Minolta Autocord Portrait

A short post today, as we are currently holidaying by the beachside. I've brought along the Bronica SQ-A and two boxes of Ilford FP4+, so am hoping to get some nice sand dune images.

This is another recent Minolta Autocord portrait. Taken on the same expired roll of Ilford FP4+ as the last portrait, in late afternoon light.

Minolta Autocord Portrait

With a 75mm lens, the Minolta Autocord lens is not a portrait length lens, but its rendering is very pleasant. This particular image was taken in late afternoon light, in the middle of a paddock. The Autocord continues to impress me with its sharpness and image quality, be it portraits, landscapes or anything in between. I'd like to track down a lens hood for it, but I haven't experienced any issues with flare or anything. The genuine Autocord hoods are very hard to find, but cheap plastic ones are relatively abundant on eBay.
