If you’ve got one of these classic spy-cameras and are interested in developing your own pictures from it, instead of paying through the nose to have a specialist do it, you may be interested in this simple DIY method from MAKE pal Alan Dove:
There’s only one lab in the US that still offers reliable processing, and they charge about a dollar per frame to develop a roll and print proofs. That’s pricey for such low-resolution shots. I often develop 35mm and medium-format film at home, but Minox 8×11 film won’t fit on a standard reel, and the only dedicated Minox tanks ever made are now collectible antiques. Fed up with this situation, I applied my usual scrounge-up-some-parts-and-make-them-work approach.
[Thanks, Alan!]










So strange, I think I will get one
I think I still have a Minox with leather case, flashcube attachment and tripod adaptor lying around the house
somewhere. If anyone is interested make me an offer.
