    • As you may remember, I already posted these two examples of the huge range of automatic exposure times you can get with a Minox 35 :    Actually, to see these two posts, you have to go to page 2 of the thread they belong to. May I add two personnal remarks :  1/ my minox 35EL used indeed the kind of Hg battery that you could no longer get. But using ordinary alkaline battery, the electronic shutter (by its principle) would not need any film speed correction : the same battery voltage actually is used to compare the load time of a condenser through the CdS sensor and the voltage of a reference resistor adjusted only for the actual film speed. So it is automatically OK, independent of the type of battery. 2/ as the focal of 35mm was almost equal to the width of the film frame (36mm), it was very easy to guess the focusing distance without a rangefinder : the width of what part of the real world you got exactly in your picture frame had to be your focusing distance.
