AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sidax Micro-Optic, a German-made subminiature camera (SidA GmbH, Berlin), launched in the 1930s and becoming a collectible classic as a "spy camera". The camera body is made of glossy black Bakelite, a typical material of the era, and it is extremely compact, designed to fit in the palm of a hand.


On the front, the Sida-Optik 35mm f/8 lens stands out with its distinctive silver ring and the raised "sidax" inscription. The camera is equipped with a simple detachable rangefinder viewfinder and a knurled film advance knob. A piece of accessible Minox-style photography history, which used dedicated rolls on protective paper. Included is the Sidax Micro-Optic camera as shown in the images.
