Despite not paying much at all, it appeared that the previous owner had serviced it recently, so the seals were not deteriorated and the focus smooth, something certainty unusual for second-hand film cameras. With a roll of Kodak Portra 160, my second-favourite colour film stock (Ektar 100 being first, not that you asked), I set about testing it.
I may have dreamt of owning a Rolleiflex 3.5F, but this would have to do. Nevertheless, my desire for large negatives and the characteristic medium format sharpness coupled with razor-thin depth of field led me to buy a very reasonably priced Minolta Autocord (which I would afterwards find to be the later RG-1 model).
The film was also much faffier to load than the easy 35mm cassettes.
