Minox Shutter and the Quest of Longevity of Minox 35 camera in Minox/Miniature Posted December 31, 2001 It is a great resource about Minox. However, I would like to correct some points here. <p> Minox 35 has two solenoids. The first one (upper) is for the "open" action of shutter. The other is for the "close" action. The winding mechanic is to clock the shutter and the solenoids are used to trigger the "open and close" mechanic only. Same amount of energy or electricity current was applied to these solenoid for 1/500s or 20s exposure. <p> One of my hobbies is to repair Minox 35s. The shutter of Minox 35 is good and wisely designed. I encountered 20+ minox 35 has the shutter problem. No incident was caused by solenoid failure...
