I long for my Minolta Autocord!

I’m finishing the first of two weeks on a beautifully beach in Florida’s panhandle. To make my leisure time easier, I only brought my DSLR and three lenses. A mistake. So much of what I see I want to shoot with my Olympus OM-2n or better yet, medium format. And, in black and white. Alas, I have no medium format camera. In my youth, I used a Minolta Autocord. I loved it and have hundreds of transparencies and countless negatives. I want it again. Not the Minolta necessarily, but a medium format film camera. My budget is about $500 and I don’t feel the need to have interchangeable lenses. Suggestions please! And thank you.

I’d love a Rollei but no camera stores for hundreds of miles.

Check the auction sites (eBay, shopgoodwill) you can find nice Yashica TLRs in your price range.

I can’t believe it. I found a very nice Minolta Autocord. What was I thinking! It’s awful to use.
