MTC Photography Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 <p>Julian, good review of Jimmy's brass Minox cassette.</p> <p>I am wondering how does it behave at different climate, for instance at -20 degree C<br> and 35 degree C ?. <br> <br />The brass material of the cassette and the aluminium body of Minox camera may have different<br> expansion coefficents under different temperature, is there possibility of jam under extreme<br> climate condition ?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minoxit Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 <p>Martin, I have the cassette in a Minox camera as we speak. After finishing the film and processing it, I thought of doing this:<br> - put the cassette in the freezer for, say, a couple of hours and after that try it in a Minox camera<br> - put the cassette in open air on a piece of alu foil. Seeing we have some 33*C outside these days, this will do the trick quite nicely. After a couple of hours I'll insert the cassette into a Minox camera (a non-working one).<br> <br />Both temps are going to be recorded by a calibrated thermometer. Results will be reported.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 <p>Julian, great.<br> If Jimmy's brass cassette passes this test, it should be a permanent fixture in every Minox 8x11 camera.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick_mont Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 <p>Will these cassettes be available for sale?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minoxit Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 <p>Guys, the 8x11 brass cassettes can be pre-ordered as we speak. Please inquire via pm or visit http://www.juliantanase.com</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 <p>16mm cassette is hard to find, one day Minox cassette will follow the step of 16mm cassette.<br> Brass cassette is an insurance for eventual disappearance of Minox cassette.</p> BTW, Jimmy is selling brass cassette at cost, once this batch sold out, when next batch available is uncertain.
