The early Minox C whether with a complan lens or the Minox lens has a rim around the frame counter and a rim around the shutter release button in similar style to the earlier B and A models. This style is certainly distinctive and preferred by some to the later style with red LED. The red LED is more robust and the camera has a longer automatic exposure to 10 seconds and so is ultimately the camera most sought after. If the white/wheat bulb is broken it is possible to modify the PCB to accommodate a red LED; an expensive option.
