chiyoko minolta autocord

[Alpha1]

Hi there, im new on here, i have some Q's that need clearing up I have had my Chiyoko minolta autocord Twin lens for about 6yrs now and find info on it a bit varied.
Example; on the lower lens it has 'Chiyoko Rokkor' and on the view finder it has 'Rokkor' yet.... according to some sites chiyoko and rokkor were only together on the earlier cameras, the later ones were labelled either chiyoko or rokkor.
Any info would be appreciated.Thanks

Early examples are labelled Chiyoko only, later ones use the Rokkor name. Take a look at our 70 years of Minolta page - http://www.photoclubalpha.com/useful-an ... n-decades/ - to get some info on the general name use.
