36 negatives or transparencies from a 56-gram camera w/ batt.......2003-10-14

MINOX GmbH, in Wetzlar, the manufacturer of cameras with the
8 x 11 mm film format, launched the MINOX ECX in 1998.
The MINAR 15 mm f/5.6 lens ensures maximum optical performance
of the MINOX ECX. The focal length of the 8 x 11 MINOX format
provides a depth of field range from 1 m to infinity making
manual focusing absolutely superfluous. Thanks to a new mounting
technique and the further developed multicoating of all glass
and air surfaces of the optical system, this unique lens reaches

a resolution of more than 200 line pairs per millimeter, surpas-
sing all series-manufactured lenses for amateur photographers.
FYI, for maximum quality right up to the final color photograph,
MINOX recommends using their Minocolor Pro Film. The new APS
emulsion of this film ensures an exceptionally high resolution.
It is also possible to use all MINOX 8 x 11 mm negative and
transparency films between 25 and 400 ASA. The new film loading
contact signals there is a film in the camera via a LED display
in the viewfinder. The fully automatic aperture priority mode of
the MINOX ECX provides a speed control of the leaf shutter of
between 1/500 and 8 seconds.

About the included flash:
Extraordinary design, but powerful. Electronic flash with guide
number 12 (ISO 100/21°).
Attention, serious macrophotographers:
the model ECX does-NOT include a "measuring chain". Should you
wish a Minox 8x11 with an attached measuring chain, go for their
60682 TLX set with meter chain
60683 TLX set with feet chain
60684 TLX with meter chain
60685 TLX with feet chain.
The measuring chain has beads along its length which permit one
to properly distance the camera from the document that is being
photographed.

Small in size, but big in function.......2001-08-04

This little beauty is super simple, but does not lack in function. This camera's most obvious advantage over other cameras is its size. The only disadvantage is that it is so small, that you might lose it!
