although being a happy Q2 user, I do like to play with other cameras....I esp like the minox sub-miniature ones and ask the forum...does anyone know where I can get a film slitter to cut 35mm film down to minox size...these were popular a while back but even ebay is lacking such a thing...keen to use ilford monochrome emulsions in my Minox C

 

long shot but I'm sure someone on here likes minox stuff too, even if it is just because of the leica and wetzlar connection!

For Minox spy cameras like Minox LX I bought Films from Blue Moon camera and Machine in Portland, Oregon. Good Service!

I bought a splitter like this that creates 2 Minox strips off a 35mm film:

I'm creating a reel-to-reel base to crank the film through in a changing bag. In the meantime I use Blue Moon Minox film, which is good.

I also have a splitter that cuts 220 film on the spool to one section for 127 and the remainder for 16mm, as I have a few 16mm submini cameras also.

There was a 35mm Minox, the "35 ML", and I used it many years ago, when Leica had nothing to offer of the size of today's V-Lux 20. And it is still in a drawer, after delivering some hundreds of very satifactory results.

The minox 35 range were superb tiny full-frame cameras...Besides my Q2 and Minox collection, I'm currently trying to find a reasonably priced hasselblad 500 for some big format monochrome work...Q2 is my first love though!

here are my 2x c's and my LX

If anybody using a Minox needs a slitter, I think I have one together with some of the cassettes. Also a camera which I no longer use. I liked the Minox very much and was amazed by the results from so tiny a film, but arthritis made it a bit too fiddly for me. Bob Gerard, the racing driver, was the importer of them to the UK, I believe. Somewhere I have a Minox photo of a Frazer Nash which had been driven by him. It seemed an appropriate camera to use on that occasion. PM me if interested in the slitter, etcetera.
