The 8×11 Minox uses unperforated film. Today this has the big advantage that you can make Minox films yourself from standard 35 mm film. However, the lack of perforation requires a special design for film transport.
Two questions arise:
How does the film transport work with 8×11 Minoxes and how are the equal distances between the photos achieved?
What could be the problem and what can I do if the negative spacing on my Minox is not correct?
I didn’t write this article just as a repair guide for those who are affected. Rather, it is also a concrete description with pictures and videos from the inside of the camera of how this ingenious mechanism in the Minox actually works.
Since I had this problem myself with a Minox A IIIs, I have put together everything you need to know how to fix it here.
