My Minox B


The first machine which makes it to the hand is Minox B for the first time. It obtained it from an accidental thing though I wanted the exposure meter before this not to be more. This was a start of Minox Madness. It is temporarily thought that it explains the feature for Minox B and each part. It is scheduled that the process of the dismantling work improves in the future, too. Be skilled Photo in each part first of all.

This box is a box which changes a little. This usually makes a small illustration a pattern though there is a photograph of big Minox in gold.
The charm of Minox increases to the design of the main body, and It is a design sense. to the arrival at each box do not total it. I wonder whether a transparent box is a too precocious design sense at that time in 50's.!H

The quality is very good for leather goods (case etc.) related to Minox. Even if it is old, it is possible to repair still.

It seems to be variously also in B type. The left is WETZLAR in the cereal 600 fee counters. The right is 900 newer cereal fee counters. Besides this, the lens has been changed from COMPLAN to the MINOX lens as for the latter term type. The resolution and the performance seem to have the pawn in COMPLAN.
