Minox 35 GT
Minox 35 GT
Purportedly the world’s smallest 35mm camera. Solid build, a tiny package, auto exposure, and pleasing optics.
Lens: Minox Color-Minotar 35mm f/2.8
Film speed settings: 25-1600 ISO, Set Manually
Film Format: 35mm
Shutter: 30 to 1/500 sec
Aperture: f/2.8 to f/16
Focus: Manual
Battery: 4LR43
Flash: Hot shoe
Year: 1981 - Onwards
Country: German
The good:
· For a 45-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.
· Shutter fires well, and tested exposures reveal no timing issues.
· Focus is accurate.
· Film transport is smooth.
· Flash works as expected.
The less good:
· The lens itself has a few specs of dust, but nothing that is noticeable in the final images (see attached sample photos)
· Minor wear and tear.
· The original 5.6v PX27 batteries are no longer available but can be substituted with a 4LR43 6v. As the voltage is a little different, setting the camera to 1 – 2 stops above the box speed of the film is advised.
