I intended this to be a triptych panorama, but poorly aligned the three frames in camera. To make lemonade, I put the three frames through Photo Merge in Lightroom.

A couple more test shots with the Minolta Autocord and Porta 160. Still learning this camera but the results are pretty good. I'm using a Reflx light meter that sits on the hot shoe . . . handy little gadget.
I shot an Autocord for years as my main camera for years. The lens is lovely. I really only stopped shooting it when I had kids and bought my first DSLR. The ergonomics on it are really great once you get the muscle memory for it. I have since repaired about four of them. They are very easy to work on and probably the best design ever from a service and maintenance standpoint.

Good to hear and now I know where to go if I have any questions! I did remove the prism and gave it a good cleaning. Lens seems quite good considering it's age. Waiting on my second role which was mostly sunset type images.
In the meantime, I just finished installing new light seals on a Canon Canonet QL GIII. I last used this camera some 50 years ago! I'm shooting a test role and can't wait to see how it does. Rather than deal with the replacement batteries for the in-camera meter, I simply mounted my Reflx meter on the hot shoe. I really like this little meter . . .
First role out of the Canonet QL17 GIII. I guess I was successful with replacing the light seals in this camera. Next up will be to clean or replace the viewfinder windows. Focusing is sometimes hard due to yellowing and haze in the viewfinder.
Leica M4 + CV 35/1.4 vII + Film Washi X / Kodak Aerocolor IV 2460 rated at 200-400ish
I had some light leaks in my canister, the first 6 frames or so, so not sure I will be buying from Film Washi again. Also much prefer Cinestill 400D which I'm now convinced is NOT Kodak Aerocolor IV 2460. Cinestill has much better skin tones. But for non-people stuff I do like the Aerocolor look.
Anyways, here is a genre I have meddled in in probably 20+ years: Bainbridge Island ferry photography.
