It is in a word, wonderful! My reservations: lens corner sharpness,
and lack of parallax correction - but the lens is quite sharp over
most of the frame, the camera is nice to use, the price is generally very
small compared with the quality of the images the Minolta Autocord is
capable of making. You have found the bargain camera in medium format.
Hope This Helps
