Remember when I said I'd started scouting for cheap 35mm film cameras on OLX? A couple of weeks ago in the middle of my toy camera obsession I decided, on a whim, to see if there were any ads for the Minox DCC on the site. I've seen one or two on there a while ago, but I could never dream of going after them at the time and they were always gone eventually. It's not that easy to find these little guys in Manila, honestly. But that day everything seemed to align: The camera was relatively new and being sold for half the price, and I could meet the seller in UP to claim it.
So I did just that, and I'm in love with it, terrible quality, and all. Like I anticipated, it's super lightweight (I'm too lazy to take a better photo than the one above but look how tiny! Using my glasses for size reference was a cute idea.) and easy to whip out, so I can take a picture without worrying too much, and that's definitely good for creativity.
I honestly never thought I would ever get to own it after six years of pining.
To conclude, here's a compilation of photos I took from the day I first got it:
