Once upon a time in 1950: Two fantastic developments conquered the market.
One was the Leica IIIf camera, with which
the global Leitz brand launched one of the
most successful cameras. With sales of
70,000, this elegant masterpiece became a
classic and made photographic history not
least because of its distinctive design. The
other was the legendary MINOX miniature
camera, in which the inventor Walter Zapp,
who is now 95 years old, combined 375
individual parts into a sensational unit.
Like nothing else, the MINOX camera
proves that magnificent technology can
work in a minimal amount of space. As an
example of miniaturisation personified, this
masterpiece started its triumphant worldwide progress at the beginning of 1950
and now it enjoys a status as one of the
most unusual cameras with international
popularity. In the meantime, the MINOX
brand has become a subsidiary of Leica and
this convenient link inspired MINOX to
create an unusual new edition.

The miniature format Leica IIIf. MINOX has
faithfully recreated the original on a scale
of 1:3 and the result can be seen for itself.
Even at first glance, this photographic
jewel, set in a fine wooden case, is a little
sensation. But the inner values of the Leica
IIIf Classic Camera also shine through. It
uses the well-known MINOX 8x11 mm film
and is not only fully-functional, but also
achieves excellent photographic results
using the Minoctar 1:5.6/15mm lens (3 lens
elements in 3 groups). And thanks to the
optional flash unit, you can even take photos with this miniature camera in poor light
conditions.
In summary: Because a true classic never
dies, the legendary Leica IIIf will be brought
back to life in the MINOX format.
