Actually, I just wanted to give a tip about the Minox frame counter. It's about a mistake I always made when reading the frame number without realizing it. But once I started thinking about it, more and more questions came up.
First, here's the initial question. What number does this frame counter on a Minox A show?
Until now, I would have said: 0. Unfortunately, that's wrong—it shows 1!
And what is this figure supposed to tell us? The number of pictures taken so far? Wrong!
Why is this important? What are the two functions of the Minox frame counter? What does this mean for the correct insertion of the film? How are the photos stored on the Minox negative strip? How long and how thick is a Minox film? How much space is there between the negatives? ... These are not academic questions, but facts that can have a serious impact on the practice of Minox photography!
In the end, it turned into a whole article with lots of pictures and facts. EVERYTHING you need to know about the Minox counter and film. If anything is missing, please post it here. I will try to add it. Here is the article (select the language at the top left):
