oliver__ Posted September 2, 1999 Share Posted September 2, 1999 when looking to the negatives made with mythree minoxes, each film has a signatureof the camera: exposed with the A (III S),the negatives are rectangular with straight borders.But with the LX, on one short side of the negative, there is a convexity of about 1 mm in the middleof the border line. And with the BL, this convexityis at the beginning of the short side.Does anybody know something about this signes?Are they typical for each model? So which signesdo the B, the C, and so on expose onto the film? <p> Or is this just due to the different production years? <p> Either Hubert Heckmann nor the german instruction manualsgive any hint to this "fingerprint" of the different models.

MTC Photography Posted September 2, 1999 Share Posted September 2, 1999 Oliver, the marking on the Minox 8x11 frame is Minox factory indentification code; base on the shape and postion of the |) shape marking, a Minox lab technician can identify the model and batch of a particular camera. But no one outside Minox knows the code list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
