Is Minox Gone?

Management buyouts are common for German camera companies.

<p> A few years ago, before Leica Camera went public, it was

also a management owned company.

<p> Rollei, once bought by Samsung, is now again a German company

after Rollei management bought back control of the company.

<p> IMO, management buyout of Minox means Minox flag ship cameras

such as TLX and CLX remain "Made in Germany" and will not be

replaced by "Made in Portugal"

Believe it or not, but it is the truth, Minox cameras are now made in

Bolivia by a family of pixies.The parts are helicoptered into a small

town 20 miles south of La Paz and then given to the Alvarrez family

who take them to a secret goblin cave.Now,pixies have very tiny hands

and are able to assemble the little cameras without the aid of

machines,thus making it cheaper.This whole proccess differs to Leica

who have their cameras made by blind imbeciles.

Even blind imbeciles have to make a living.

Nice post, "Phil", but you still need to work harder on the

punctuation. Remember: the space (one is enough!) goes _after_ the

comma or fullstop. I haven't mentioned colons and semicolons because

I don't want to confuse you at this stage. Alternatively, if you find

it too taxing, you could just get the other "Phil" to type for you.
