The terms "large", "medium", "miniature" and "ultra-miniature" when applied to camera formats, tend mask the fact that each is an imaging device with its own assets and liabilities.

Just as an 8 x 10 view camera may not be the best choice for a yacht race, a Minox is not the ideal choice for Yosemite murals. The Minox, however, is unique in that it does provide the best assurance that you will get a quality image in either setting. It may be the only camera which can always be carried, provide "photo album" prints equal to any, and, at the same time, make negatives for fine exhibition quality prints.
