Since there are only 88 square millimeters on a Minox negative compared to 864 on a 35mm negative, there is not a square millimeter to waste. The photographer has to use the whole format in the camera, as the great Leica photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson did with his pictures, and not plan on cropping later. So you, as a Minoxer, must think about what makes a good Minox picture, not just what might make a good picture. Something in the picture must be sharp to give the impression of sharpness everywhere. Focus carefully on the point of interest and use a high enough shutter speed to keep your own body from shaking the camera.
Psychological sharpness is as important as physical sharpness.
Crisp distinctions between light and dark, clean edges between areas of different brightnesses or colors all combine to make a picture feel sharp. All the ultra-high resolution in the world won ' t make a picture look sharp if it doesn ' t feel sharp. Compose the Minox picture in the viewfinder filling the frame with what is important to the composition. The Minox focuses to infinity, but a landscape or an architectural picture works best if there is something closer to the camera to give scale and perspective. Don ' t neglect the foreground just because there is an attractive background.
