I recently inherited a Minolta Citizen MVL. It seems to be in working order but I have no idea on how to use it and couldn't find a manual for it any where. Also any idea if it is possible to still get film for it? the cartrage slot in the back measures 62.5mm |

Not enough info. Minolta Citizen MVL, obviously the name of a shutter used by Minolta. What is your camera model's name? |

Sounds like you have a twin lens reflex. It uses 120 film. Still available. A Citizen MVL is the name of the shutter. What is the name on the top? |

Likely you have a Minolta Autocord - a very nice camera indeed. You should be able to locate a manual via Google. |

Or it could be a Minolta Miniflex. If so it uses 127 film. If it is a miniflex it is a very high priced camera according to McKeown's Price Guide.

Yours is a metered Autocord then, a CdS version. Which one I can't tell. Some have 220 film capability and you have to check the backing plate when loading film on those to make sure it's set to 120 film. |

Anyone here have a copy of the repair manual for an Autocord by chance? |
