Description from the seller
Massive Spy Camera Collection - Minox EC, Tessina System & Rare Subminiature Film Lot
Fantastic collector's lot dedicated to sub-miniature photography and espionage, covering the two most iconic ecosystems of the genre: Minox (8x11mm) and Tessina (35mm subminiature).
1. Minox System:
• Minox EC Camera: In good cosmetic condition, as shown in the photos. The shutter has been tested and is firing, with the corresponding mechanism audible on trigger. Includes original protective case.
• Note: It has not been tested with film, so full functionality or electronic accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Sold as-is. Battery not included.
• Minox Films (5 units in total):
• 3 Films apparently never used: 2 Adox Pan films (14/17 DIN) and 1 Minox Mino Color 3 film (15 EXP).
• 2 Used/exposed films: 1 Minox Agfa film (ASA 100 / 21 DIN) and 1 unidentified cassette.
• Historical Negatives: Several original Minox envelopes with developed and dated 8x11mm negatives (e.g., 1956), rare pieces of the system's historical documentation.
• Manuals: Original instructions for Minox EC and Minox B.
2. Tessina System (Made in Switzerland):
• Tessina Film Loader: Original black metal mechanical part to wind film of 35mm into the Tessina pulse camera's proprietary cassettes.
• Tessina Films (7 units): Extremely rare lot including 2 films apparently never used (still protected in their original foil) and 5 cassettes from brands such as Kodak (Ektachrome) and Tessina Film.
3. Optics and Additional Accessories:
• Waist/Reflex Viewfinder: Precision optical view for the subminiature system.
• Pathé Paris Lenses: Two Pathé Paris branded optics/accessories with original markings.
• Filters and Others: Lifa filter set in original box, Minox slide supports, and a Minolta Sportsfinder (for Weathermatic-A) with its original box.
Overall Condition:
Shows normal signs of use consistent with age. Some revision/maintenance is recommended for regular use. Includes only what is visible in the photographs.
Total weight without shipping packaging and protection: 928 grams
