Minolta Autocord LMX
The Minolta Autocord LMX is a Japanese twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera shooting 6x6 medium-format frames on 120 roll film, part of the Autocord line introduced by Chiyoda Kogaku in the mid-1950s. It was positioned as an affordable alternative to Rollei TLRs, aimed at advanced amateurs who wanted square-format negatives without the cost of a Rolleiflex.
Sales data is very limited: a single UK auction hammer result in April 2025 saw an Autocord LMX sell for £94, which is the only verified saleroom datapoint we hold today. With just one record, this should be treated as an indicative figure rather than a reliable median, and clean working examples with bright finders may sell for more in 2026 while parts-only bodies are typically worth less.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Minolta Autocord LMX worth today?
Based on the single UK auction hammer result we hold, an Autocord LMX sold for around £94 in 2025, so current value sits in that region for an average example, with condition driving most of the variation.
How much does a Minolta Autocord LMX sell for at auction?
At UK saleroom level the only verified hammer price is £94, which excludes buyer's and seller's commission; retail dealer asking prices for serviced examples typically run higher.
Is the Minolta Autocord LMX a good buy as a user camera?
It can be, provided the focus lever moves freely and the lenses are clean, since seized focus levers and hazy glass are the main issues that erode the value of otherwise sound bodies.
