This little beauty is the Minox 35PL, the auto-exposure version of the Minox 35 line of ultra compact 35mm cameras.

You set the focal length, and the camera chooses the shutter speed and aperture. Well, that's the theory at least. When I dry-fired this camera to see if the shutter worked (indoors), all seemed fine. I then went outside and shot an entire roll of blank film. The shutter seems to fire correctly in low or ambient light situations, but the faster speeds needed for shooting in the sunlight are malfunctioning.
This may be an easy fix, or it may be something best left to a pro. So I am selling it as is, for display, parts, or repair.
$20.00 + $5 shipping to US buyers, international buyers, please contact me for shipping rates and method.
