Minox AL overview with photos

Great video, in depth and knowledgeable as always, especially with the mercury and modern battery overexposure compensation

Finally acquired a battery for mine and will be taking it for a test spin soon. Your photos look great, excited to try mine now!

Hello Eliseshootsfilm, Thank you for your message and kind words. The AL was a lot of fun to use, I hope you enjoy yours. I look forward to seeing your results from it in one of your future videos. All the best. MVC

The colourminotar lens is a gem, and reputed to have been designed by an ex Leica optics designer.

When you use a flash in the hot shoe it pushes a small tab in and this limits you to 1/30 sec only

Good Video! Concerning that battery. How to create a look-a-like with 5.6 volts in 2023. I stacked 4 AG5 cells, or LR754, or 393's on top of each other. Cellotape and a strip of wound paper (18 mm wide) make it the perfect shape of the V27PX battery. The external dimensions must be 13 mm in diameter (max) and 20 mm length. Preferably 5.6 Volts, but the stack measures 5.8 Volts (a little older cells were used). It works fine. The endurance will be lesser of coarse, it is smaller. But we have this pocket gadget working a gain.
