| Mimosa II, Meritar f/2.9 50mm lens, Velax shutter image by Klara Keler (Image rights) |
This compact, yet boxy 35mm viewfinder camera was the sole camera produced by Mimosa of Dresden, Germany. The original version of 1948 had a fold-up viewfinder on top of the camera; but the Mimosa II introduced in 1949 incorporated the finder into the camera body.
