Introduced in 1969, the Minox C is the successor to the popular Minox B camera. Like the Minox B, the C is a subminiature "spy" camera that uses small cartridges of Minox film (or our Spy Film for Minox film) to produce 8x11mm frames. The Minox C shares many similarities with the previous B model, but adds some improvements. The C has a battery-powered CdS meter and an electronically-controlled shutter capable of automatic exposure. The camera itself is a bit over 2cm longer than the B and is the largest of the subminiature Minox line of cameras. For those familiar with the operation of the Minox B, one nice innovation in the Minox C is that film is not advanced when the camera is opened and closed unless the shutter is fired, allowing the user to save frames when they decided to not make an exposure once they have opened the Minox C.
A PX27 battery is required for use.
This is a demo model of the Minox C, perhaps intended for dealers to show off the camera, or for demonstration at camera and trade shows. This camera has a few unique quirks not seen on the retail Minox C, such as different or entirely new screw positions, different shape of the shutter cutout, different film take up "claw," and others. Information on the history of these units is not readily available, but based on a few of these differences being reminiscent of the B more so than the C, it is possible this unit was sent out to dealers before the C design was fully finalized.
