CAPSULE REVIEW: Minox GT-E

Smaller and lighter than the Rollei 35 with aperture priority mode, it ought to be my preferred option of the two. But I find it less charming and rarely use it. Points for having a two-piece design (like the Rollei) without light seals that turn to goo.

RATING: ★★★☆☆

Since originally writing this capsule review I have fallen in love with this camera, for a simple reason: it has a hot shoe that can mount any basic camera-flash. With a small hack, literally hacking off a piece of a (cheap) flash, you can override the default 1/125 shutter speed.

REVISED RATING: ★★★★★
