Light? Small? Robust? Automatic or manual? = Minox C
Sometimes I wear a Minox EC like a pocket watch. Even had my Foundrymen's Society honor key hanging from the chain. (crossed pick and shovel instead of Phi Beta Kappa, but who's gonna get that close?)
I keep the Minox strobe in an old nylon knife case that I can stick in my pocket if I'll be inside, or out after dark.
Carried a Rollie 35 around for a while (bigger negatives, shoot color without a credit check, etc) but I can't seem to learn to love the thing.
Not realy relevent, I know. Minoxing is almost a seperate desease, and like leprosy, not all that contagious.
Hmm... does use 35mm film (with a little pre-processing), Leica did buy the company, the little lumps on the chain find the range, fantastic lens, aknowledged classic design. New models bazarely priced. Nothing to be ashamed of here!
And you can hang it from almost any convienent body piercing.
