New Vintage Minute or Minute 1.0

[Y2K]

I picked up these old Minutes for a decent price. Getting back into it, so nothing fancy - just a pair to wet my beak. Not in perfect condition obviously and need a cleaning, they have a nice ‘patina’ without being too worn out. Any recommendations on possible replacement lenses down the line?

I’m actually not too sure about the authenticity, but from what I gather they are legit. Any commentary to that end is welcomed.

Anyways, my first post here, seems like a nice community.

Congrats on the pick-up. Fuse and Ikon are decent aftermarket companies that have Minute lenses.

Excellent, I’ve heard Fuse has high quality lenses - I appreciate your response! Wasn’t sure if they still made them for this older design

Hello, I was looking for one of those vintage, but couldn't find it, where did you bought it?

Welcome. I got them on eBay for $45.

They ended up costing me a lot more - what was supposed to be a pair to replace my Fives that were stolen in 2002 ended up sending me down the rabbit hole.

I never did get another pair of Fives, but those plain black Minutes that put this obsession into motion are still one of my favorites
