Harry: Have fun indeed. Technically, I suppose, the EC has less resolution than the Complan lens in the early Minoxen, but you have to shoot microfilm to tell...
really, at the true focus of the EC, I never saw any difference in lens performance over the Complan or Minox lens, and that is from Techpan. If you can live ...
Hi, I have one of these cameras that looks like a flying saucer. I can't remember how to open up the back film chamber. There is a little sliding button to...

Hi, Martin, Thanks for the info. I'll watch out for any battery drain problem. My EC arrived in the mail a couple of days ago, and I am IMPRESSED! It looks to...
Does anyone have a current email address for Ray Pepalis? I tried the one I found listed for him in one of the articles about film slitters, but it's no longer...
I stumbled across this newspaper item today during a web search. Don't know how many of you might have seen this already. God only knows how many lives have...
