I've just ordered a Minox GT-E. Searching the Minox shutter problem, I found a post from someone who'd had his Minox fixed by an experienced repair man. The repair man said when a Minox 35 is not being used, take the battery out, and leave the film wound on, ready to fire - although the shutter is electronically timed, it has mechanical parts and these freeze from lack of use. It should also be picked up every few months and a few shots fired off. Possibly good advice for many older cameras? I'm planning to take the GT-E to Nepal trekking, because nearly every shot will be focus to infinity anyway, and walking to altitude carrying 200g weight is much better than 1kg+ of Pentax LX with a couple of primes!
I have a 35GL and a 35GT. Only the 35GT had an issue with the ISO selector. The PCB was broken and repaired by a friend of mine. Very good camera’s but not as good for my street photography as my Olympus XA (which you mentioned as well in the video). All have very good lenses indeed. Even wide open.

Andy Warhol used a Minnox 35 with flash & Tri-X 400 B&W film, when he took those candid pictures of celebrities at New York Disco 'Studio 54 '
I have a Minox, can't recall the model now, but it is always a joy to use!!!

Thanks. Good info.
Looks like a Contax T

I love my Olympus Stylus Epic.
Lovely lens. Unfortunately, my ML broke pretty soon after I got it.
So, you have nothing to say. Why post? Too many do the same thing from unboxing an axe to planting a turnip.
Just for fun.
