Minox optics
Minox optics is an established name in the world of optics. The company started out with manufacturing subminiature cameras before expanding into making 35 mm compact cameras that sold in millions between 1974 and 2004. The company currently has several other products in its portfolio such as binoculars, riflescopes, spotting scopes, trail cameras, monoculars, minoscopes, and many more.
Minox – Company History
While the very first subminiature camera from Minox was envisioned in 1922, the first camera to actually sport those miniscule dimensions was produced in 1936 by its inventor and designer Walter Zapp. The company made great strides after World War II and their cameras became synonymous with high quality and luxury. The initial Minox Camera also became famous as a spy camera. Several Minox models such as the GT-5 and GT-E won the hearts of novice and expert photographers alike thanks to its unique design and ease of operation. Minox was taken over by another optical giant Leica Camera AG in 1996. However, by 2005 Minox GmbH became a totally separate entity from Leica.
