Minox 007 spycamera

[HuckleDad]

Thanks for the video! Here in beautiful "New" Jersey, I am reading a very interesting book about the Spy adventures of MI5 & MI6 during the cold war - and it is really interesting to actually see a Minox in action.

@HuckleDad You're welcome, i'm glad you found it interesting. I'm thinking of digging mine out again and shooting some reels through it, not done anything with film for a while now and I love the images you get from these, theres something old world charming about them.

i just came across this camera Minox B and i don't know how to change the film for it, also i wanted to know if the box comes with the flashgun or did that have to be sold separately?

[spidiq8]

@MrsKojak1981 See my other videos for a loading and unloading film one.

Flashguns were a seperate item, some boxes will have cutouts for them and this can be for one of two reasons, it was a gift set containing everything, or, dependant on the retailer was the only packaging available but had the cutouts for future accessory purchases.

Estonians invented minox, the inventor was Walter Zapp.

@x1starwarsrocks1x Latvians invented MINOX Camera, not Estonians. Latvians had workshop in Estonia and it was created there

if you have the genuine minox daylight development tank, developing a minox film becomes much much easier. Not that rare or expensive, either.

[spidiq8]

@kumasan1969 More than easy enough to modify a Jobo reel to use in a standard Jobo tank, uses less dev fluid and the Jobo tanks are far more plentiful, much cheaper and not made of bakelite hence less brittle.

Nice to have a Jobo tank as a collectors item but no great benefit of developing submini film in it.

[kumasan1969]

:) but the minox tank is in line with the art of minimalism.

I should have invested on Jobo system, color processing in my Nikor-type stainless tanks is pain in the neck. :(

Can I get this film developed at a local photography store or develop it myself, or does it have to be sent to them for development?

[spidiq8]

If you have a store that has the facility to develop 110 flm they can do it, also they need to be able to develop true B&W if this is what you`re shooting with.

I,d recommend removing the film from the cassette (in the dark) first and placing in a light tight 35mm film case as the store will likely break or discard your cartridge.

[spidiq8]

If shooting B&W personally i`d recommend you home develop, it`s easy and a developing reel can be easily made from a Jobo standard 35mm / 120 reel
