MINOX B miniature SPY CAMERA with leather case
COMPLAN 1:3.5
f=15mm
ASA labels from 25 to 400 (as you turn the shutter speed, this dial turns showing presumably what film ASA you need)
shutter speeds T, B, [blank], 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, [red dot]100, 200, 500, 1000
another dial that rotates (for distance?) marked 8", 10", 1', 1'6", 2', 3', 6', [red dot] and infi...nity
Opening and closing the camera winds the shudder, and in our (completely unscientific) testing the higher the shutter speed, the faster it whirls and clicks. The "film counter" is at 20 at the moment - we've never opened it up. In good cosmetic shape except for a small ding in the grid on the side of the ASA counter.
There is also a small hole on one side I'm not sure the use of, same with "grid"
Measures approximately 4 x 1 1/8 x 5/8 inches.
Leather case and instrument are marked "Made in Germany"
A GREAT CONVERSATION PIECE, and genuine spy camera. You'll see similar units in many of the spy movies out there. Please see photos for condition.
From wikipedia:
Minox is a manufacturer of cameras, known especially for its subminiature camera.
The first product to carry the Minox name was a subminiature camera, conceived in 1922, and finally invented and produced in 1936, by Baltic German Walter Zapp. The Latvian factory VEF (Valsts elektrotehniska fabrika) manufactured the camera from 1937 to 1943. After World War II, the camera was redesigned and production resumed in Germany in 1948. Walter Zapp originally envisioned the Minox to be a camera for everyone requiring only little photographic knowledge. Yet in part due to its high manufacturing costs the Minox became more well known as a must-have luxury item. From the start the Minox also gained wide notoriety as a spy camera.
