Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Minox 60500 sub-miniature camera replicates the Leica IIIf at a scale of 1:3. The Leica III series incorporated innovations in shutter speed, and included models with shutter speeds as slow as 1 second and as fast as 1/1000 second. The Leica IIIf was first introduced in 1950 with flash synchronization and a self-timer. Constructed with a wood case to give it a classic feel, the 60500 is fully functional, with a Minoctar 1:5.5/15mm lens producing excellent photographic results. Sleek and compact, the 60500 uses 8 x 11 mm film, about 1/4 the width of 33 mm film, and includes an optional flash unit that lets you adapt to varying light levels.

What's in the Box
Classic IIIf camera, wooden box, and 8 x 11 millimeter film.

This review is from: Minox 60500 Leica IIIF Classic Sub-Miniature Camera (Electronics)

On 3-24-06 I ordered a Minox Leica III-F black sub-miniature camera model #60502 from Willoughby's. The order was through Amazon. I wanted it for my collection; I also wanted its companion, the chrome classic verison model #60500. Again through Amazon, I ordered the 60500 on 3-31-06. The package arrived in a timely manner, all the paper work was correct, but it was the wrong camera. Willoughby's had sent another black 60502!

I emailed Amazon. They said to contact Willoughy's. I did, numerous times. I never did receive a response to any of my emails; even the last one, when I only asked if they ever planned on contacting me. I will never do business with Willoughb's again.
