Minox BL
The Minox BL is a subminiature camera from Minox, the German maker known for its 8×11mm format spy-style cameras. It sits within Minox's compact subminiature line aimed at discreet photography rather than general-purpose use.
Hammer prices for the Minox BL at UK auction have ranged widely, from around £200 for a standard example up to roughly £3,100 for an exceptional or collector-grade specimen, reflecting how much condition and provenance drive what one sells for today. With only a small number of recorded saleroom results, any single Minox BL's value in 2026 depends heavily on completeness, working order and originality. Buyers should treat the upper end as an outlier rather than a typical price.
