Approrpriate flash for Minox 35ML

Hi, I am thinking about buying a Minox 35ML on ebay that comes with a Revue

flash. I am considering purchasing a separate minox flash to go with the ML,

and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the TC35 and the FC35 work well

on the ML, or if I should stick with the MF35 / MF35 ST.

 

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated!

Minox TC35 or FC35 has roof top shape curve at bottom, it fits the

roof top style Minox G series cameras: GT, GT-E etc, and will not fit

ML. However the MF35 flash can be used on Minox G series cameras.

Thank-you! It is good to have a professional opinion on these matters! I won the ML and now I am very excited about learning to take nice photos, and getting a bit more involved in taking a photo than just pointing and shooting! :)

I have used 3rd party flashes with my Minox 35ML. If you are familiar with manual flash attachments (that used to be all we had) or auto flashes not dedicated to a particular camera, you can find a small unit that will work with the ML.

 

On the other hand, you can get ISO 800 film, learn use the exposure lock on the ML, and use available light. Much more satisfying results when you get the hang of it, and a great use of a small, discrete camera.

 

(The exposure lock on the ML is what makes it such a great camera in the Minox 35mm line. You can aim the camera at an area that is lit differently from your subject, lock the exposure, frame your subject, and fire away. Once you've got the hang of it, you have as close to fully manual control of your exposure as you can get with an aperture priority exposure system.) Have fun.
