david_h_gsholt Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 <p>Hi there,<br> I am about to start looking for a Minox, since they are affordable now and I need something more recreational than my DSLR.<br> I know I will end up shooting a lot at night and since I also don't mind long shutter speeds, I was wondering which models can accomodate that? I have looked at a nice table I found online comparing all the models and it seems to suggest that all the "older" models can only get to 1 sec. To get longer exposure I would need either an GSE, GT-E, GT-X or GT-S. Does this sound right? I also stumple upon a post saying that none of the older cameras go below a 1/15?! I guess this can't be true, right?<br> I should mention, that there's no chance I would shoot 25asa film;-)<br> Best,<br> David</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 <p>I have a GT-E, from the spec, the maximum shutter time is 1 sec, however its shutter can open up several minutes in very low light.</p> <p>My Minox 35ML and Minox M.D.C have no such long exposure</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_moore5 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 <p>My GT-E manual claims that the shutter can operate from 1s at 1600 ASA up to 30s at 25 ASA. Hope this helps!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just place it on any rock or similar and it will take amazing pictures of moonlit scenes, cityscapes etc. with the shutter staying open for minutes.<br> I used to shoot on Velvia 50 ISO.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
