The Film
The A-minima magazine is designed to accommodate the new
"Aminima daylight spools" designed by Aaton. Manufactured and
delivered by Eastman Kodak, the spools can handle 200ft of film.
The magazine coaxial design utilizes two identical spools, one on
each side.
The A-minima spools are "daylight friendly". If you load and down-
load your magazine in daylight, you will exposed approximately 5 ft
of film during loading and 2 ft of film when taking the magazine off
the camera body.
The spool is made of two flexible flanges attached on each side of a
specially designed core. Both flanges can be clipped on either side of
the core.You should not need to separate the flanges from the core,
but if you wish to do so, hold one flange firmly while turning the
other one counter-clockwise.
The film is being delivered by Kodak already rolled onto one of the
spool. The film is spooled emulsion out. With its wind clockwise, the
perforation should be towards you.
The magazine
The magazine attach to the camera body by mean of two guiding
post located on the magazine take up side. A third post will trigger
the magazine shutter open when engaging the magazine onto the
camera.
You can manually move this post in order to open or close the shut-
ter. When pushed toward the nose of the magazine, the shutter is
closed. We recommend that you leave it closed to ensure the light
tightness of a loaded mag.
Two locating pins, on either side of the mag throat, will maintain the
camera door closed when the magazine is installed on the camera in
its running position.
