shutter failure

I bought my first Minox 35 in Hong King in the mid 70's and loved it. Absolutely wore it out taking pictures all over the world. I was a traveling CEO and it was always in my brief case or pocket. I wore out thie first one in ten years. Bought a used GTE-E and it was even better. However, the shutter failed to operate 70% of the time and I found few pictures on the roll. I was told that cost of fixing was high, so bought another used
GTE and shortly had the same shutter problem. So, I cannot recommend the camera but if the mechanics were better, there is no camera equal to it for size, excellent optics, excellent results and simplicity to yse. The Minox flash is adequate but I preferred a more powerful and faster operating one.

I finally found an acceptable lightweight substitute for my bulky chrome (old) Voigtlander SLR equipment which performs spectacularly but simply weighs too much. From a purist's point of view, the results aren't quite as good, but for the compactness, the sacrifice is more than worth it.
