Introduction and contents

The subminiature cameos was set up by Marcus Brooks but ceased to be updated in 2003. See http://www.mwbrooks.com/submini/flicks/index.html

The Minox is the de facto spy camera. Show a Minox 8x11 camera to just about anyone and they will recognise it and call it "a spy camera". Not too surprisingly it appears in many films and television series and sometimes it is even used with enough skill that a photograph might result from the actions of the actor.

Television
