No shades of gray though: only black or white. <BR/><BR/>I believe this was not the fastest film in Russia, this was the fastest accessible film...Dibutilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645356561208308639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-20725810269072359842008-09-09T00:31:00.000+00:002008-09-09T00:31:00.000+00:00I wonder if the digital version is EMI shielded? ...I wonder if the digital version is EMI shielded?

The high contrast film was designed to capture CONTENT of documents and recognizable features of people for identification. Many modern day Nikita's still use Minox's - the digital would be fun to test and compare to the film counterpart.<BR/><BR/>The Minox was designed to capture INFORMATION, not pictures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-4183037563739965202008-09-09T00:04:00.000+00:002008-09-09T00:04:00.000+00:00"with a 1950's film"Who said spies used regular, c...<I>"with a 1950's film"</I><BR/><BR/>Who said spies used regular, commercially available film? ;-)Berthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615427415606513157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-83337348877076986972008-09-08T23:37:00.000+00:002008-09-08T23:37:00.000+00:00Yup.
