Minox B
An extremely high quality subminiature camera invented by Walter Zapp and produced by Minox GmbH from 1958 until 1972. It became famous as a spy or espionage camera due to its combination of extremely small design and the very high quality of the images it produced. Over the decades, several different models of Minox cameras were produced but the B is one of the most common and popular. It is similar to the Minox III but has a selenium cell coupled light meter. The camera produces a tiny 8x11mm negative on what is typically a 36 exposure cartridge. The camera is incredibly small and light, being built with an aluminum housing. It is also entirely mechanical - no batteries required. The camera has an adjustable shutter with speeds from 1/2 second to 1/1000 but works at a fixed f/3.5 aperture. Focus is also manually set with distances biased toward close up photography (though the camera works just fine with all distances, including infinity).
Minox no longer produces film for this camera, but we do right here at Blue Moon Camera!
