Acmel M

(1984) Sold by Microtec. Fixed-focus, 14.3mm AZONON 3 element lens. Exposure (and DOF) is controlled by four aperture settings: f3.8, 5.6, 8 and 11. Shutter speed is fixed at 1/200sec. Viewfinder is .45% magnification and 85% picture area. Size 65 long x 26 wide x 16 high mm. 36grams. Similar to the Nikoh Minimax, it uses a dial to advance the film instead of the Minox push-pull method. Available in an all black, or a black & red model.
Acmel MD

Also sold by Microtec, this is a completely new camera -- not just an updated version of the Acmel M. The lens is an Azonon f3.5 15mm (3 groups/4 elements) tessar type. Here the aperture is fixed at f4.8, but it is now a focusing lens -- to 1 foot. It has a CdS meter that provides automatic exposure control of the shutter: 1/500 - 2 seconds. Film speeds from 25 - 400. A special flash unit was available, labeled "MDX", so this camera is sometimes incorrectly called the "Acmel MDX". Still very small: 84mm x 37mm x 21mm . Weight: Approx, 55g. It uses a dial to advance the film instead of the Minox push-pull method. Also sold as the Fuji MC-007.
Acmel MX

(1984) Same as the Enica SX. This is an Acmel M on one end with an added electronic flash (built in) on the other. It doubled the size of the camera. Same fixed-focus, 14.3mm (f3.8-11.0) lens. Single speed of 1/120. Not the same as the Minox MX (which was more like the Acmel MD) but identical to the Enica SX, except that it only came in all black or all red.
