ph. Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 <p> not only the eye of the minox I believe, the lens of the film camera Dralowid is marked "minox wetzlar, 12,5mm f 2.5. Siebert at work?</p> <p>p.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 <p>p <br> 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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray_kelly Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 <p>Thanks Dave. I had never seen Martin's effort about this, and congratulate him on spending many hours assembling the above information for our education.<br> What a marvel of ingenuity it is.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles_wolbe Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
