Thanks for the feedback, Brian. The Fall LeicaView article has an excellent photo of the little IIIf copy, it really caught my eye. I've never done much with the 8x11 Minox format because their cameras have a curved film plate which requires a comparable curved negative holder in the enlarger. I assume it has to do with the close proximity of the 15mm lens to the film in the sub-mini Minox cameras. This new camera is a different animal, though, with more room fore and aft, so I'm hoping it uses a flat film plane. I've seen some remarkable images from sub-mini's using newer films.
