What else can I say?! This camera is great and has basically become my number 1 street camera. This is one of the many lovely old buildings found in Dunedin NZ, shot with Ilford HP5+

PS Check out my blog for some more examples!

A Minox 35 is currently my daily carry-everywhere camera.

I agree this is an amazing camera: small, silent, good construction, and amazingly sharp lens. It does have quality issues, however. My GT-E has just been fixed and cla'd by DAG, and should be on the way home to me now. I can't wait. Keep shooting and sharing your Minox pictures. Thanks.

Man, I really want to like these cameras better but that damn lens door prevents me from it. I wish they went the XA sliding door route.

The lens door can be used as a very efficient lens hood if you handle the Minox 35 upside-down. Just try - it works !

I am not too sure but I think one can just use a set of four 386PX silver oxide cells attached together with a bit of adhesive tape directly in the 35 GT, instead of the now banned mercury 27PX battery. No need to buy any $$ adapter.
