Leitz Minilux "Tintin"

The Minilux "Tintin" is a special-edition version of the 35mm compact Leica Minilux, offered as a collector variant of the standard model. As a fixed-lens compact it sat at the premium end of the point-and-shoot segment.

UK auction hammer prices for the "Tintin" edition are thinly documented: the two recorded saleroom results, both from Christie's in 1999, fetched £322 and £345 at the hammer. Because these are historical wholesale auction figures and no recent results appear in the available sales data, what the camera is worth in today's 2026 market cannot be reliably extrapolated.
