You can buy it in all pro photo stores and of course online. I once bought 100 expired Fuji Provia 120 films on Ebay for $200 - then put them in the freezer. I still have films left of that stock! Most of the pictures on Autocord.com are shot on that film. I'd recommend <a href="http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=itemlist&cat1=Film%20%26%20Darkroom&cat2=Film&cat3=Color%20Slide%20Film&Feature2=120" rel="nofollow">Adorama </a>or <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=Film+Type_120+Roll+Slide&ci=2545&N=4294548524+4289268852" rel="nofollow">BH </a>for buying online. Of course you can also use B&W or a color negative. Personally I am moving into using more B&W and doing my own developing as I finish my stock of Provia. Hope you buy one - I've enjoyed mine :-) Agust Hello Alexia,

I have bought a roll of Kodak 120 for the Autocord. Once I get the focus lever unstuck I'll see how it takes and show you!

Funny how everyone appears to be a lot further from the bean then they really are. Including the guy far away in the middle looking down into the Autocord :-) Nice, I’d love to visit Chicago some day.

Those things can break any time - even on new computers - at least that's how they should be treated :-) I'll keep posting - happy shooting! Agust Thank you for your encouragement Brenda,

I have been a Minolta Autocord fan for years. For the last four years, I had opted for the convenience of digital in the shape of a Nikon 40D. But I've found that after returning from vacation, the last thing I want to do is spend time at the computer downloading and backing up. So after losing the majority of our family photos in a hard-drive crash, I'm going back to film, and the Autocord is my camera of choice. My husband and I used to photograph weddings and the Autocord photos were always among our client's favorites. The negatives easily enlarge to wall portrait size (up to 4 ft) with no loss of quality at all. I do mostly portraits and the combination of the Autocord and Kodak Portra is a winning combination.

I don't do anything special - i develop my films (color films) in lab, but i don't think they do anything special to it. i mostly use 125-250 shutter speeds, so i don't actually need to use tripod. Nothing else worth mentioning. hi.

Maybe you could ask him about how he uses the Autocord to get the shots he wants? (Ie, hand-held vs tripod, does he overexpose color, etc.) Vitaly has some great photos, my favorite is this one:
