MINOX 35 GL / FC35

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.

Leica IIIF

model III F

The serial number of the camera in your photos is 545215. That puts the production year at 1951 and makes this camera a Leica IIIf. You can tell it’s a IIIf because of the flash sync scale that’s located underneath the shutter speed dial.
