Minox 35 PE

[photax]

Hi !

Another flea market found for less than 15.- USD from the last weekend, a Minox 35 PE with Color Minotar 1:2.8/35 from 1983 with box and guarantee card. Compared to the other 35-models, this one has a built in flash, which makes the camera a little unhandy. The PE was not a huge market success back in the 80`s. Working at a photo shop these days, I can remember that we sold exactly one piece of this model.





Did you know that Minox also sold a 110 – cassette camera in the mid 1970`s ?
The Minox 110 S with a 2.8/25mm lens was actually built by Balda Germany. Some say that this is the best 110 instamatic-camera ever built. I found this little plastic wonder some years ago for 1.- EUR.

I like the 110.

It just struck me as interesting that compact digitals have not replicated the 110 'spycam' orientation. It is quite ergonomic, & I can see advantages in it, except, of course (now I think of it) that the LCD would be facing the wrong way (unless it flipped up or down). Doh!

This is the best 110 ever built.

Agreed! Mine is my absolute, bar none, favorite camera of all time. Gawd! I miss being able to use that kit! I thought I had found a local processor, but it didn't work out.
