History
The classic Minox sub-miniature camera was originially designed by the Estonian engineer Walter Zapp. It was produced in Riga (Latvia) in 1937-1944. After the war, the camera was further developed in Wetzlar, Germany, and the first German Minox was released in 1948. The light aluminum shell Minox B, which included a coupled lightmeter, was produced from 1958 to 1972. It was followed by the Minox C in 1969.
