Minox 35 GL

The Minox 35 GL is a compact 35mm film camera from the German maker Minox, introduced in the late 1970s as part of the 35-series of pocketable full-frame compacts. When new, it was positioned as one of the smallest 35mm cameras available, aimed at photographers who wanted full-frame negatives in a body closer in size to a subminiature.

At UK auction the Minox 35 GL has produced a wide spread of hammer prices, ranging from about £25 to £550, reflecting how condition-sensitive these compacts are at saleroom level. With only a couple of recorded results the data is thin, but as of 2026 a tidy, working example tends to sell for well under £100, while the upper figure points to what an exceptional or boxed copy can fetch. Buyers should treat the high end as an outlier rather than a typical price.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Minox 35 GL worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer prices for the 35 GL span roughly £25 to £550, with clean working examples typically selling for the lower end of that range.

How much does a Minox 35 GL sell for at auction?

Most usable bodies sell for well under £100 at UK auction, while the £550 result represents an outlier for an exceptional example rather than a normal price.

Is the Minox 35 GL a good value compact?

For its size it offers a full-frame 35mm negative at a low entry price, but the value depends heavily on the shutter and meter still working, since repairs are difficult to source.
