Hi Everyone,
As a recent new user of minoxes I was wondering how many poeple still actively use
them, this forum seems very quiet so I assume that the lack of posts either means
people have posted all they are interested in about minoxes or have given up using
them for a while - or for good. If you still actively use your minox please post here it
would be good to know how many minoxers are on this forum.
If you have any links to your minox photos that would be really good to see.
Kind regards
Steve

Yes,I am still using my Minox cameras,very much so.However,it seems that I am more active in slitting and shooting,than processing:-)).I have some 10 films waiting.Very good idea,Steve,having this question.I long for the days when postings were like 10 per day,and this regularly occurred at the beginning of 2000's.People move on,I guess.
Some of my pictures and stuff can be seen on:

Yes, certainly. Using EC and C mostly but also B and IIIs. I use Blue Moon for developing and new film when they have it. Must find another source for film because Blue Moon has run out. I use ASA 400 color print film. Had used MicroTek in CA and Minox Processing in NY years past, but they are gone or unreliable. Someday I may develop myself (yea right!, I still have several rolls of half-frame 35mm slide film in the refrigerator to be developed, decades old). I love the format, the grain, the always-there camera. And just the fun of taking picture with a Minox. For air travel I use the MiniDigi and a Polaroid digital - not the same thrill as using a Minox with REAL film.

BL,C and EC, (also Edixa 16M). Although less enlarging, instead I
shoot, develop then scan with film scanner.

PS IIIs is my favorite Minox... the C is nice for automation and no unexpected film advance.

Hi Steve,
I think I'm one of the few Minox 8x11 users in The Netherlands...There will be much more users in Germany and I think most of them visit the German Minox forum not this one.
My February DAGed Minox B is used last Saturday at a Large Photography meeting :-). I used Copex and this film will be developed soon using the original tank. The enlargements will be made using the model III enlarger. When the results are reasonable I'll send my IIIs and Minosix to Don.
The little IIIs and the B are lovely camera's and I admire the mechanics in such small boxes. Keep on counting....
My pictures are
here.
