Photographic tool

Minox document camera

This small camera was built for photographing documents, plans etc. This type of camera was featured as a requisite "spy tool" in a number of James Bond and similar films. Film was advanced by pushing both ends of the camera inward and then back. Documents could be photographed in normal room lighting without a flash, and almost as quickly as the time it took to turn the pages of a book or file.
