Dralowid Reporter 8mm filmcamera made by Steatit Magnesia AG in Germany has a Minox Wetzlar Dralonar 12.5mm f2.5 lens. Facts are scant. My guess is that it could be the design of Seibert; In Minox 8x11mm subminiature camera<br>

Minox IIIs, Minox B has Seibert designed COMPLAN lens. After Seibert left Minox, the subsequent Minox subminiature camera such as Minox LX has MINOX lens, instead of special lens. Since Dralowid Reporter has lens called "Dralonar" , in the tradition of COMPLAN, it is quite possible it was a Seibert lens. </p>

<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/uF2sVqI.jpg">Here is an ad</a> for Haverhill's Episcope from the March/April 1998 issue of Mother Jones Magazine. As you can see, they were still made in Japan, and sold for $69.95 instead of today's (2016) price of $59.95. I ordered one today from Haverhills ( <a href="http://www.haverhills.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?&shop=city&L=eng&P=1062">http://www.haverhills.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?&shop=city&L=eng&P=1062</a> ), and asked customer service about the case, which they confirmed to be leatherette, not leather (in case anyone else is wondering).</p>
