Minox Enlarger, and developer

Minox pays so much attention to film flatness. Inside the camera, there is a pressure plate that clamps the film against the film gate with the body in pulled out position for picture taking. The pressure plate is disengaged when the body is pushed together for film advance, and shutter cocking cycle.

 

The enlarger has the same precise film handling for printing. There is a nice lever operated film gate that clams the film in between two glass plates (below) to insure film flatness. The other lever on the enlarger (below, right) is the quick release for its height adjustment.

The film developing tank in Minox is so well designed. The film gelatin side faces outside on the spiral spool.
