Hi Ginon, I have a Kiev 35A which is similar to a Minox EL, I'm not sure about the exact differences or similarities, but I usually set my Kiev 2 stops below. When I'm shooting 400ASA, I set the film speed to 100ASA on the camera (2 stops down) and it exposes dark scenes very well. Have you tried something like that on your Minox?

Whew, that's a relief, because one of my cameras, a Zenit-B SLR, had a bit of corrosion, and that piece where you would "set" the film speed fell off. I was a bit worried, but that really makes sense to me now. Thanks a lot!

So I'm wondering, I just recently purchased a Zorki 4, and I am looking into one of those cameras that look like the old Leitz Leica II's. So far, I have come across the FED-1 and some variants of the FED-2, Zorki-S (or C), and the Zorki 1 and 2's. I am wondering which ones are the better ones in your opinions, and also, what film speed do you use for these cameras? A lot of the older ones did not have a ISO/ASA/GOST film speed adjusting knob on the camera, so what usually works best? I know this is a newbie question, but thanks in advance for helping me out.
