Minox 35GL

A very small camera from 1980

The Minox 35 GL followed the Minox 35 EL in Minox's successful range of 35mm compact cameras, reputedly the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras ever made. The lens retracts into the camera body when closed, fully opening the cover activates the battery. Different models in the Minox 35 range were identified by shutter release buttons in differing colours: the GL is quickly identified by its orange shutter release button.

Frankly I bought this because it was so small and that is actually the reason I can't use it. I can't see the controls on the lens barrel.
