A you might know, I live in a period of austerity, completely self-determined. I won't buy anything before I can sell something.
But this was just a small exception:
Minox 35 GL in very good condition with original box and manual, even the battery was included. (Color-Minotar 2.8/35 lens, lightmeter works)
And best part: I paid € 9,50 for it - including shipping!! 
What a nice little cam. I guess, this will be in my pocket often.

what year was this camera released originally?
It looks curious, the overall look is that of a 70s camera but the front "door" looks like a 50s' folder.

The first year this version (GL) was sold was 1979.
So my cam has been produced between 1979 and 1981.
The folder door is becauese of the immersible lens which is great because of this, this cam is such a compact gem.
One user writes that he has always been very satisfied with the results this little cam produces. He was presenting slide shows and was able to "mix" the shots taken with this Minox and the shots taken with his SLR and nobody realised!

Last weekend we went to Marburg Castle and I brought the Minox 35 loaded with a (cheap) Jessops Diamond ISO200 film in order to check if it is working. I mainly used hyperfocal settings.
Here are some shots:
Testing flare resistance. I kind of like the flares that this little lens produces...
And this shot has been taken by my 3-year-old daughter in the Botanical Gardens where we went afterwards:
I guess, I like this little Minox cam!

No, I have it done by a local lab. They are totally crap with medium format, but great with format 135 C41-development and scanning!

Nice lens on that, without a doubt. Wonder who made it for Minox?
Your daughter is definitely showing promise and you'll have to get her a digital cam now, else the cost of keeping her in film will bankrupt you.
