Lomopedia: Minox 35 GT

Introduced in 1981, the Minox 35 GT became the heir of the camera company's successful line of 35 mm compact cameras.

Hailed as the smallest full frame 35mm camera ever made, this classic shooter became one of the most coveted compacts of its time. Closing the cover retracts the lens into the camera while opening it turns on the battery. The camera has an aperture priority automatic exposure, shutter speeds of up to 1/500 second, and 35mm f/2.8 Minox Color-Minotar lens. It's easily recognized for its yellow shutter button.
