      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

          I remember being given a Minox, and also a selenium cell exposure meter in the 70s - it was fascinating, particularly the slide action film winder.

          A perfect example of good things come in small packages. My WWII dad spoke of how the .45 could put a man down with one shot but, oh, it had a kick. And do I have it right that elbow to hand---resting on that elbow---got you into focus if a Minox so you could quickly shoot papers

          I wanted one of these in the 70s but used a Leica for candid photos. The Minox was pretty awesome and can still be found.
