    CIA #Museum Artifact of the Week: #Minox B Camera In 1936, Walter Zapp, a Latvian engineer, developed a portable #camera that would fit easily into the palm of the hand & yet take high-quality, spontaneous pictures. http://bit.ly/2mpoxCE pic.twitter.com/j3UjmEchkO

        The Minox camera, in its various models, was the world’s most widely used spy camera. The camera was a marvel of technology, using film 1/4 the size of standard film, with 50 frames in a cassette. Ultra-light aluminum-shell Minox B was produced 1958-1972.

        Because of its small size, Minox subminiature cameras were easy to conceal. It could also take excellent photographs of documents at close range & was a natural for secret photography. Its inventor, Walter Zapp, passed away on July 17, 2003.pic.twitter.com/BJ0ulClgCl

        Do you think a spying device could be placed in something as small as a soccer ball?

        The CIA only creates division, distress and death. The sooner the organisation is defunded and shutdown the better for all of humanity.

        No, the Minox was used by civilians far more than it was used by spies. If the 8x11 film wasn’t so expensive or so hard to process I’d consider buying one myself. You can find these eBay.

        This is one of my favorite artifacts, the Minox was a high end miniature camera and they actually encouraged you to wind your own film into the cartridges by giving the information on how to slit down 35mm film.
