Minox BL black
The Minox BL is a subminiature film camera in the Minox 8×11mm format, fitting within the long-running Minox subminiature line. The black-finish version is a cosmetic variant of the BL body.
Sales evidence for the BL black at UK auction is thin: the only recorded hammer result in our data is £340 in 2013, a wholesale saleroom price excluding commission. With just one data point, today's value depends heavily on condition, completeness of case and chain, and meter function, so any quoted price should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market level in 2026.
