The Minox C submini photo camera was produced from 1969 to 1978. It uses Minox 8x11 mm photo film, (not included), and is electronically controlled via a PX-27 battery, which is also not included due to the difficulties in shipping anything containing batteries.

Made in Germany, Minox cameras were much loved espionage cameras, particularly during the cold war. As with all Minox photographic equipment, this camera is extremely well made. Its quality engineering has stood the test of time.
