I really like it! Obviously I love how small it is. These are handheld - you can get away with some low shutter speeds which makes it a great every day carry for me.

I also considered it, but seems like a lot of work for one roll of film! Also it actually had a roll of Sakura loaded in it (discontinued in the early 80s i think) and the 135-20 is a Kodak designation.

My Canon Demi I bought from Sweden has a permanent reminder that it was used for shooting negative film with 20 (or 40 for Demi) exposures. That always made me think of this person's workflow. Were they using another camera for slides only?

Yes, Retina IIIs to be exact, in a case for Retina Reflex, but fits just as well and has the all-important hole for the winder on the bottom!

Haha well I've been walking around with a Moskva-2 (Super Ikonta clone) in my pants pocket quite a bit so it doesn't seem THAT ridiculous to me 😅

I've tried Delta in 120, but this being 6x9 and shot on a professional Topcor lens, I expected the detail and low grain. But 400 ASA on a Lomo looking like this was really caught me off guard! I'll see how Delta compares

I had my eye open for one for quite a while, I'm a sucker for small cameras. I bought this specific model simply on account of the deal, Im not overly familiar with the history of the Minox lineup. Why do you prefer the older ones? Reliability?

It makes the on-lens controls less accessible which contributes to the fiddliness I mentioned, but other than that it seems ok! I have an idea of how to use it to my advantage: flipping the camera to use it as a sun/street lamp shade 😄
