Classic cameras - Minox 35GL
Derived from the earlier 35EL, the Minox 35GL was made between 1979-1981 and was reputedly the smallest full-frame 35mm camera in the world. The lens fully retracted into the body when the camera was closed, opening it again revealed the lens and activated its exposure metering system.
The Color-Minotar 35mm f2.8 lens was very sharp and the cameras small size and low weight made it easy to carry anywhere. Its ‘two-stroke’ lever wind film advancement, electronic shutter, programme/aperture priority exposure control, manual focussing without rangefinder and backlight button to increase exposure was an unusual specification. The completely detachable camera back made film loading and removal very easy.
The diminutive size, unpretentious appearance and almost silent shutter meant it could be used in places where other cameras might cause offence.
An iconic, very distinctive, quality camera.
