AFAIK, All the Minox-marketed, classic miniture cameras use the same,
fixed-focus lens and exposure system. They are all viewfinder cameras and
use Minox film. They are not made by Minox however, and the Japanese maker
actually has more models than Minox brings into this country.
The line includes:
Nikon SP
Hasselblad SWC
Leica IIIf
Leica If
Leica IIIf military
Leica M3 chrome
Leica M3 black
Leica M3 gold
Nikon F chrome
Nikon F black
Rollieflex 2.8f TLR
Contax I
Pentax SP
I thought I had also seen a Contax IIa.
They're pretty cute, but also pretty expensive and of limited usefullness.
I see a lot more appeal from the Minox "spy" cameras, the little
Bic-lighter shaped, push-pull winding models. But they all produce those
LITTLE negatives.

I believe it is a Minox camera. Incindentially, Minox is owned by
Leica. And yes, it is cute, more so to actually handle. Although if going
that small, I actually prefer the original Minox-style (B and Tlx) - they
are easier to hold steady.
