Dear Luggers and Tintinophiles,

For those who are collecting both Leica and TINTIN miscellaneus, LEICA
CAMERA will sell, only in Belgium, 200 MINILUX chrom engraved, under the
the name MINILUX, with the head of Tintin with a camera and a bonnet,a
drawing extracted from the book  "Tintin au Tibet" (you know, when Tintin
frighten the Yeti in a cave), together with a small blue bag (plastic like)
and a blue plastic watch.

I think that camera on the drawing is a AGFA.
The only Leica appearing in a TINTIN is a Leica M3 with a 50mm in "Les
bijoux de la Castafiore" page 22-23 in the french edition.

Price in Belgium around 44.000 BEF tax inclued. (around 1.550 $) The price
for a regular Minilux is around 35.000 BEF here.

Mille millions de mille sabords! 

Lucien
