The Minox Processing Laboratory website, <http://www.minoxlab.com/>, has a webstore with detailed information on the Minox 35GT-E and 35GT-S (replaces the X, just a name change). Essentially, the two cameras are identical except for the film speed setting. On the E, film speed is set manually. ON the X or S, it's set with the film canister DX codes. I prefer the E as it gives you an extra amount of flexibility in exposure setting: you can bias the exposure anyway you want by adjusting the film speed. Can't tell you much about Helsinki or Berlin, but the Minox 35GT-E is a fine little camera. Tiny, rugged, an excellent lens with very Leica-ish bokeh, good light meter and a very nice 1/500 to 16 second shutter. Very quiet in operation, very nice to use. Godfrey
