Minox PL

[raid]

Agentleman here donated a Minox PL to me. Here are the first results from this little camera. It has guess focusing, which is OK when paying attention to distances and when being able to use smaller apertures. I may have used f 5.6 here. My children were playing at a playground, and I saw the yellow tunnel as a colorful framing possibility.

Hi, Raid!

I really like those tunnel shots! Fantastic!

Hello Kent,
Thank you. The tunnels opened a new perspective at the playground.

I should mention that the Minox 35mm cameras are among the best travel cameras ever produced, in my opinion. The lens is sharp and contrasty, and the camera is incredibly small and light. I slip a Minox in a side pocket, and I am ready to go. The guess focusing actually makes me slow down and allows me to take my time in composing images. I hear of Minox's lack of reliability, but I have been using a Minox Gt for over 15 years without any problem, and I now have also a Minox EL (donation).

Excellent photos, Raid!

I also think Minox are excellent cameras. I've had my 35GT for over 25 years and it's never let me know (fingers crossed...).

Some of my Minox photos on Flickr are here.

Eric,

Your photos look great. The B&W are moody and vintage looking and the color images have vibrancy.

I also have been lucky with my Minox 35GT. It came to me in its leather case, and it has never needed any repair so far.
