The Minox GT is one of the smallest cameras for 35mm film ever built. It's fully manual. Its main features are:
35mm F2.8 lens, min. focus 0,9m Aperture
priority (2.8-16), electronic shutter, 30sec*.-1/500, speed indication
1-1/500 in the viewerfinder window *shorter with higher ISO.
There are reports that this model can make long exposures up to 30 min.

with flash attached. Shutter speed automatically sets to 1/125. Takes 2
AAA batteries. The FA35 fits the GT and has a guide number of 14 (m/ISO
100). Film compartment open.
A nice original genuine leather case.
Could
also be used as half case. And yes, that is another GT camera. I gave
away the first one and regretted it. So this is my new one.
The
GT model is a good compromise. It has a better shutter than the earlier
models and a clearer design than the later models. Extremely
lightweight, yet quite sturdy. *The battery problem has been solved.
There is now a 6v 4LR43 Alkaline battery which fits right into the
compartment, it is cheap and it works well.
