Martin, I'm looking for a Minox III without a flash sync or measuring chain. I've e-mailed most of the States & Europe but they all seem to have one or the other. Is there a certain range of serial numbers or years of production I should be looking for?

Minox III comes with chain; if you find a III with chain, that is it. SN between 31275 to 58499 made between 1951/1953.

You may post a "Wanted" ad in www.minox.com or www.minoxlab.com

As far as I'm aware, all Minox subminis with the exception of the VEF Riga, from the Minox II and onwards, all were equipped with chains. Even a few Rigas have a chain eyelet, though some were added after production by their owners.

Best, Duncan.
