Minox IIIs Vintage 1955 Subminiature Spy Film Camera with lots of Extras!
Product Information
- A distinctive solution for discreet picture taking, the Minox IIIs is designed with an ultra-compact and portable body that is greatly needed when doing surveillance. This spy camera offers the basic functions of a regular film camera in an 82 x 28 x 16-mm size and 2.5 oz weight. Despite the miniature build, this Minox film camera can capture clear and high-quality photographs. A 15 mm f/3.5 Complan lens with four-element, three-group construction comes standard in the Minox IIIs. It offers shutter speeds ranging from 1/1,000- 1/2 B. What\'s more, this improved Minox film camera offers a connector for flash module. This spy camera also comes equipped with a relatively small viewfinder as well as green and orange lens filters. Plus, it features red dot hyper focal point. After pressing the shutter, users can wind the film by sliding the camera. Boasting a sturdy-yet-easy-to-conceal aluminum casing, the Minox IIIs takes clandestine photography into a whole new level.

(originally listed at $19.50)Minox spy cameras require specialty subminiature film cut and loaded into unique 9.2mm twin-chamber cartridges to produce 8×11mm negatives. Because standard rolls don\'t exist, this film is generally hand-cut and respooled by specialty analog shops, and requires dedicated lab services for developing.
While standard 35mm film can be custom-cut and respooled at home with a bulk cutter, several specialty stores offer fresh, pre-loaded 36-exposure cassettes:
- Blue Moon Camera & Machine: The officially licensed producer of Minox format film, offering fresh Ilford Delta 100 and 400 (B&W) and color stocks. You can view their offerings directly on Blue Moon Camera.
- Film Photography Project: Supplies black & white and color subminiature negative films. Browse their current availability via the Film Photography Store.
Due to the microscopic frame size, standard commercial photo labs generally do not process Minox film. To get usable prints or scans, you\'ll need to send your cartridges to specialized subminiature labs or process them yourself using dedicated black & white developers.
- Send-in development and scanning services are available through Blue Moon Camera.
