Flash units

Minox FC‑35 Electronic Flash

The Minox FC‑35 is a dedicated electronic flash unit for Minox 35 mm cameras. It mounts directly to the camera’s hot shoe and provides automatic flash exposure controlled by the camera’s exposure system.

Guide number

The FC‑35 provides two automatic exposure ranges, identified as the green and red ranges. The green range is intended for shorter subject distances, while the red range is used for longer distances. A distance chart printed on the rear of the flash unit allows the user to select the appropriate range for the film speed and subject distance in use.
