How do you operate Minox with one hand ?

I can operate my EC with one hand, but cannot do it with my other Minoxs.

Do you have any tips ?

Very few camera can be completely operated by one hand, by 'completely' I mean that it can be open and shut by one hand. I used to carry a Contax T2 during driving, for ocasional photo ops. <p>After it accidentally open up in the pocket I stop doing this. I tried Canon Elph 370z, but it's opening switch, which is also the flash cannot be conviently open by one hand.

EC seems the only one I can open with one hand, but some time, in a hurry I covered the lens with finger and got half a picture.

Now I carry a Minox C with a neckstrap. When driving around the city, my left hand on steering, use my right hand to pull the C downward to open the camera

hold to eye level, with the thumb on the release button, the other fingers straight, to avoid blocking the lens, take a quick picture. To close camera and advance to next frame, I push the camera against my chest.

Contact Don Thayer of www.minoxlab.com - He can one hand a IIIs and a

C with amazing ease. Part of the reason might be his "large hands".

When I asked him how, he just smiled and said "practice". It's really

quite amazing to see him handle the camera - he is quicker than I am

using both hands! He is also very helpful and a very nice person. Ya

better make an appointment as he is working on nifty new offerings

for us and often out of the office.
