Minox CD 140 35mm film camera w/ case + manual
Minox CD 140 35mm film camera w/ case + manual
Best known as Germany's premier subminiature "spy camera" maker, Minox also made some nice 35mm cameras, including this sophisticated point-and-shoot from circa 2000. The CD 140 features a Minoctar lens with a very generous 38-140mm zoom range and excellent optics for a point-and-shoot.
This camera requires a CR123 lithium battery (available as an option). The original case and manual are included.
Condition notes
We verified all the camera's functions are working including its film plane focus and autoexposure. The camera is in excellent, nearly mint cosmetic condition (see photos). The case is in good condition except for some crumbling of the leatherette piping (a common issue with camera cases from this era).
