Chronology of cameras Nikoh Co.
This little gadget combines a camera using Minox film and a gas lighter!
The Supra Photolite appears to be another name for the Minimax Photolite, with no significant difference. It was also sold under other names: Acmel, Slimax Photolite, Enica, Nova Micron. It seems that some of these designations were used for specific markets: Acmel in North America, Supra Photolite in Germany, Nova Micron in the United Kingdom.
Nevertheless, it is lightweight and not lacking in elegance, even if it doesn't optically compete with serious models like Minox or the Yashica Atoron, which take photos but don't light cigarettes. Its construction is not very sturdy; this particular unit has its winding lever stuck halfway.
Nikoh only produced it for a few years in the 1980s, then turned to other activities.
The elegance of sleek lines. The lens is on the left.
