I picked up an Autocord in Oct, shot a test roll, and only got around to developing it yesterday. From what I can see, the Rokkor 75/3.5 lives up to its reputation as giving any Rollei Tessar a run for its money. Here are some of the frames from my test roll: Kitchen Window Flower Stand Stumps Old Owl Ilford FP4 Plus, Rodinal 1:100, Epson 2450 scanner Gene |

Gene, nice shots. The Autocord would seem to be a respectable performer.

I like your test shots. Your impression of the Rokkor lens on the Autocord matches the experience I have had using mine. Darn fine lens no matter which way you cut it. The rest of the camera seems well built also.

Excellent photos Gene. I've always wanted an Autocord but can't afford one.

Walker, Bob, Randy, thanks for taking a look. I'm quite impressed with the Autocord and it may cause me to sell my Rolleiflex 3.5F. The Rollei is just too nice, so I don't like to take it out for the rough and tumble.

These are all gems. What resolution do you scan at? And what resolution do you size your files at, for the internet? Your developing skills are quite amazing.

Michael, Tommy, thank you.
Michael, I scan 6x6 at 1200dpi on my elderly Epson 2450. For the web I size them at 650x650 pixels at 72 dpi. I use Vuescan as my scanning software and usually Photoshop CS3 for editing. If I'm in Linux I use The GIMP.
