The MINOX subminiature camera was used extensively for clandestine operations throughout the world for over 40 years.  No other camera available could match its durability, performance, and diminutive size,
until high-performance digital versions became available.

This example was manufactured in 1969, and featured manual and automatic exposure control, as well as a whisper-quiet shutter (Only about 1500 of this model were made).   Special 16mm film was loaded via a "drop-in" proprietary Minox cartridge.

PROPOLOGY has a supply of "dummy" film cartridges and an actual MINOX film developing tank.
