    Possible Light Meter Calibration Service?

    How good is the Minox 8x11 resolution?

    Minox was constructed as a spy camera. So it provide the best results in macro shots.

    Travelling with B&W

    I traveled a lot with Fuji GA645zi. It is one of the best travel cameras! I used it for 20 years & but recently sold it to minimise the cameras choice :) It was excellent for slide film (as all Fuji lenses): Fuji GA645zi + Fuji Velvia 50. Thailand, KoTao.
