Hi, Bob, It may be that Minox made a Leica sub-mini reproduction, but the ones I'm thinking about are made by a Japanese company called Sharan - I poked around today looking for something about them:
http://www.subclub.org/shop/sharan.htm There's not too much more, 'cause it seems that most of the pages are in Japanese. Apparently they're not exported out of Japan, so they're hard to find. Single shutter speed (1/250), variable aperture, I'm not sure if the lenses are fixed focus or not. Despite the fact that some of them are copies of slr's, they all actually have rangefinders. They do use Minox film, though. regards, frank Bob Walkden wrote: > Hi, > > I'm fairly certain that Minox makes them.
