Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With Minox flash, film, and batteries included, the Minox GT-S 35mm camera set offers creative control, for the professional-minded photographer, mixed with point-and-shoot settings, for convenience. It's everything you want and need in a 35mm camera--all wrapped up in one tiny, lightweight, go-anywhere package. But, don't let its size (approximately 3.9 by 2.4 by 1.4 inches!) fool you: the GT-S gives you all the creative freedom you want, with high-performance multicoated lenses, precision aperture-priority exposure control--even a self- timer and automatic film-speed setting (DX-coding)! You also get a "green" setting for spontaneous candids and automatic setting of film speed.

Through the selection of any desired aperture, both depth of field and exposure can be played with to define picture composition. The extremely quiet central diaphragm shutter permits a discreet and unobtrusive photography not to be found in conventional compact cameras. A superb imaging performance is achieved with the exceptionally powerful, multicoated Minoxar 35mm f/2.8 lens, with integrated skylight filter. The focusing range of the lens is from 27 inches to infinity, which is ideal for near-focus range exposures.

All that--in a glass-fiber reinforced Makrolon, soft-touch lacquer silver casing. It weighs a mere 7 ounces, and is world famous as one of the smallest 35mm viewfinder cameras, making it simple to pack on trips, as well as business or leisure activities. The Minox GT-S 35mm camera is a classic, with more than just excellent design. Minox stands for proven lens quality, robust mechanics, and easy operation. All products from Minox are made in this tradition.

5.0 out of 5 stars 35mm Minox???, June 29, 2002

This review is from: Minox GT-S 35mm Camera Set (Electronics)

In short, this is NOT your family's vacation camera. If you want something to throw around, and possibly lose, i'd suggest another camera. This is a seirous camera. With a MINOXAR lens, you can take sharp pictures that can easily be blown up to 11x14 wihtout a lot of grain. If you have money to spend, and you want a camera that will give you excellent prints, I'd recommend this one. It's also very lighta and compact, with a very fast lens.
