Minox 35 EL

The Minox 35 EL is a compact 35mm film camera from Minox, a German maker better known for its subminiature spy cameras. Introduced in the mid-1970s, it was positioned as one of the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras available, aimed at buyers who wanted pocketable travel photography without stepping down to a smaller film format.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Minox 35 EL have ranged from about £25 to £69, with a median around £44 based on the limited sales on record. As of today in 2026, that puts the model firmly in the budget compact bracket at saleroom level, and condition is the main driver of what one sells for — clean, working examples reach the upper end of that range while cosmetically tired bodies sit near the bottom.
