minox 35 GT

I bought a used (very good condition -9) Minox GT 35 with case.

I could not find any info can anybody help.

By the way it has color(!)-minotar lens.

<p>

Many thanks

nadir, Minox GT is the first GT series, first appeared in 1981. It

has the same body shape as Minox GT-E, with subtle difference, for

instance, GT-E has a Minoxar lens close focus to 70 cm, GT a Minotar

lens, close focus to 90 cm. Mode of operation is quiet similar to GT-E

It needs a battery to operate, see "Battery" section about 35mm camera

battery.<UL><li> Pull open the front cover, load battery into battery chamber at front of camera

<LI> Open the camera by a switch at the bottom, slide down and remove

the whole camera back <li> load film: pull out film lead and insert

the lead to engage the take up spool , wind film with two stroke to check the film is moving <li><P> Close the camera, restore the

lock at bottom<LI><P> Set film speed by turning the thumbwheel at bottom

to match the ASA/DIN number of film <li>

wind the film with two strokes. camera is ready for use</UL> <P> Minox is a scale

focusing camera, it is easy to estimate distance

I don't think the GT is the first "G" Minox, I used to own a 35GL,

which was older...

But don't worry, the 35 GT is a great camera, despite its fragility...

What fragility ?

<p>

I have carried my 35GT in a trouser pocket all over

Asia and Australia, not mention Europe on and off

for the last 4 years and never had any problem with

it.

By the way, its not in its brown leather case

either.

I love my Minox 35 GT! I have taken some amazing pictures with it and

have never had any problems with it either. It is a really nice camera
