Hey I just found this list. SO cool! I recently picked up a Minolta MGS 16mm I was wondering. 1. Can I test the shutter before I get the film for it? How? 2....

I just purchased a good looking Minox EC off Ebay(I own a B also). The batteries with it were dead of course. I guess the recommended battery to replace it...
Congratulations Mike! The EC is a fine camera as long as you keep the subject in the "sweet spot" from about 3 feet to 15 feet. The SPX27 battery doesn't...
Thanks for the info--I take it I can use the flash setting for the shutter if I want to use the camera manually at 1/30 at f3.5?(for hand held low light) I...
... My own preference for replacing mercury batteries is to use zinc-air hearing aid cells. These come in several sizes and can easily be adapted to fit...
yes, just replace it with the silver cell... easy, lasts a long time. The EC will just lock up on your shot when the battery dies. Exposures are perfect with...
I was doing a little research on electric flash options. I guess I thought the B couldn't sync to any flash above 1/20 sec. Could the ME2 be used with each...
The Minox B can be synchronized with a flash at high speeds, I remember having used it at 200 at least. You can use the EC flash on other Minoxes with the...
By the end of the time I was shooting film on a regular basis, the Minox EC had become my constant, in-pocket camera and most used Minox. A good one is a great...

The new Kodak Ektar film should be ideal for Minox cameras. It's ASA is 100 and is claimed as good as the old 25 that was wonderful. Now to try my slitter out!...

Yes. I used the Ektar 25 film in 35mm for outstanding 20 by 36" prints. The new asa 100 film is said to match its sharpness and grain with 2 more F stops...
all the shots I've seen from the new Ektar film look wonder (35mm)... should be great in a Minox, 16mm or any submini if you are looking for color......
Is there a "sunny 16 rule" for the Minox B? My meter doesn't work but as I see it, with a a known ASA, a fixed aperture of f3.5 and variable time up to 1/1000,...
it's the ASA times 10 to get your shutter speed -- bright sun, distinct shadows with asa100 film means use 1000 of a second, and so on down the line. For, in...
or you can just get a standard exposure meter from somewhere -- $10 on eBay should do you -- and measure with that. Just use the shutter speed for f-3.5 or...
It's more of a "sunny 10" rule. Set the shutter speed to 10 times the ASA of your film for bright sun. One stop (speed) less for cloudy bright, etc. For Copex...

Many thanks Jack and CT. I've had really good luck with the "Sunny 16" rule in non-metered cameras -- so I'm hoping to get some results with the Minox "Sunny...
... Sunny 16 doesn't care about the camera. You just need to compensate for the fixed aperture, which I count as 4 2/3 stop faster than the iconic f/16. That...
