Minox B Pocket Camera

[alexkerhead]

Got this today, unfortunately paid more than what I wanted. I am glad to have one now, though!
First Minox.
Dated 8th month of 1959. When you look at this, you would never know it was 50 years old, because of the style and the construction!

Hi !

This is a beautiful technical masterpiece, and as you mentioned, in an ageless design. In my collection there are a couple of them, but only the Minox-B makes you feel like James Bond I hope that you had not paid too much. Here in Europe this model ( with case, manual and measuring chain ) will sell for ca. 70.- USD. But these days they are difficult to find in good condition.

I paid $30US, because it had the leather case and manual. It works perfectly as well, even the 1sec speed.
I feel pretty good about it then.

Thanks Mik!

Alex,

It's the fact of quality construction that makes me believe completely that it is, in fact, 50 years old! Can you point to a contemporary camera with this level of construction quality?
