A MINOX35:
THE24 x 36 mm
FRAMESIZE





It  all started with an idea to
design a camera not much larger
than a 35 mm film cartridge. For
35 mm frlms are available nearly
everywhere in every type you
need, they are easy to process
and  - most important  -  they
yield an ideal image size for out-
standing  colour   slides  and
prints.
   The result was the Minox 35.
You can carry this  incredibly
compact camera in any trouser
or shirt pocket, or the smallest
handbag - the handy front cover
protects the lens. It also hides
some impressive engineering in
each Minox  35. And there are
models for everyone.

                            how it works: If you don't want

                                         just set the Minox 35 ML to "P"

     Apart from the flash units we
     mentioned,  there  are  further
    handy accessoriesfor all Minox
    35 cameras.To start with. there
       is the black leather ever-ready
     case. A small eyelet at the left
    and right takes either the wrist
     strap supplied or the neck strap
     which is available separately.
                                                                                                          Shoulder bag
       The elegant belt and wrist
     casefor the Minox is tailored in
      soft   burgundy-red   Naskapi
      leather. The smart Fashion Bag
      in black-trimmed light canvas is
     a wrist case.
              If you want to carry every-
      thing for picture taking with the
     Minox 35 - including the flash -
       in one case, you  will  like the
      specialMinox shoulder bag.
         Finally, there  is a skylight
        filter and a neutral density f,rlter,
     combinedwith a collapsiblelens
     hood. And the shiny pencil-size
      item becomes a rigid miniature
