Minox A

The Minox A is a subminiature camera from Minox, the German maker known for pioneering the 8×11mm film format. It was positioned as a pocket-sized precision instrument, used widely for discreet and travel photography after its postwar introduction.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Minox A have sat in a wide band reflecting condition and completeness, with sales ranging roughly £75–£150 and a median around £126. Today in 2026 the model remains condition-sensitive at saleroom level, and buyers asking what a Minox A is worth should expect outfits with original case, chain and meter to sell for more than bare bodies.
