You may be right that it was unnecessary for Minox to make cassettes with two different kinds of take-up spool. However the fact remains that they DO make two...
I'd use a waste film (or a home perforated one) to check the wind mechanism. If the image is displaced toward the index hole, the camera is not winding on...
So much debate ... Minox cameras made up to the B model use a frame counter that counts up, telling you how many exposures have been used. The transport...

Regarding the repair of broken Minox cassettes: My suggestion is to create more images not more problems. This comment is not meant to offend, just that we be...
I second that! Trying to use broken cassettes is an accident waiting to happen! Then sending off your Minox to DAG or whomever for repairs is not only ...

It really does pay to be a bottom feeder, if you keep it up long enough. I just received today a Mamiya Enlahead. I've had my eye open for one several months,...
... It was the crack in the plastic shown in one of the photographs that put bidding off, assuming there was only one enlahead in the past few weeks. At least...
... There is in fact a nearly invisible crack in the plastic outer helicoid, and the grease is very stiff. I can easily clean the focusing slide tube and...
I am currently working on Steky cameras, trying to find out how someone can claim 14 different cameras (vertical format only, not Ricoh), but as these are "in...
I've recently been pretty pleased with the first experiment on a new variant developer for microfilm which I've designated Caffenol LC+C. I shot a roll of...
I'm inpressed. I've heard of coffee being used as a developer for novelty purposes, but I never dreamed that it might be a GOOD developer. What brand of...

Donald, Wow! You're becoming a regular developer cooker-upper! I like the "Pine Bark" shot the best of the three. I simply MUST try one of these Caffenol...
Hi,I want to know if I can use Acetone on the telephoto to free it from the old grease that has jammed solid the lens,I can't move the focusing ring, and I...

I just finished scanning and uploaded a couple examples from my second roll in Caffenol LC+C. This was the same film, Agfa Copex Rapid, shot at EI 100 in a...
Hi all, I just shot a roll of minocolor 100 in my Minox IIIs. It's the first roll I've put through the camera, and I got the camera from a very reputable ...

Pardon me if the following suggestions seem too obvious, but since you haven't mentioned anything about the negs, perhaps they ought to be said. The first...
Sounds like sluggish shutter speeds, I do exercise my shutters by running through the whole shutter range taking 10 at each speed from time to time in the hope...
