Minox

In 1985, Constantinos Pittas, then in his late 20s, embarked on a five-year journey across Cold War Europe in a now-iconic Greek-made NAMCO Pony car. Armed with a Minox 35mm compact camera, he zigzagged across the divided continent, capturing candid black-and-white portraits of ordinary people in an effort to create the archetypal European portrait.

The Photography Technologies Museum in the northwestern province of Kocaeli, where bellows, spy and high-market value cameras are being exhibited, sheds light on the history of photography.
