Actually, I picked up a box (I think with 200) AG1b's a while back
exactly for my Minox B. Handy when I am on secret missions copying
secret doccuments with the special-purpose
"lens-facing-downwards-space-between-legs-equal-A4-copystand
(http://www.fortunecity.com/business/ingram/1168/copystand.jpg) and
the right-angle-finder to take pictures around corners
(http://www.fortunecity.com/business/ingram/1168/brightangle.jpg)
Sometimes I wonder why it is that I have such stuff and find it
facinating....if perhaps I watched too much James Bond when I
was young.....and sometimes I wonder why it is that I actually find
those weird items usefull from time to time, especially when I travel
:)
The name is Bond....no, wait...Thomas :)
