Minox 35

This is a work in progress.

The Minox 35 range consisted of a series of tiny, ABS-bodied full-frame 35mm viewfinder cameras with a folding front door covering a retractible lens. Opening the door extends the lens and switches on the electronics. Most (all?) models had a wide 35mm lens, with scale focus. They became known as the World's smallest full frame 35mm camera.

Minox introduced a number of models - with various types of exposure control and other added features. Most of the models were black, although some of the later ones were silver, and there are white and green models. Each model can be distinguished by the colour of the shutter-release button (although some colours are quite close to others). Dedicated flash guns were available, with some small differences to take account of the design of the top plate; the flashguns were almost as big as the cameras themselves, and made handling much less slick

There were special models of many of the "main" models - mostly just changes in colour.
