What it is
The Minox C is a subminiature camera taking 8x11mm film on Minox cassettes, introduced in 1969 as the successor to the Minox B. It brought an electronic shutter and CdS metering to the pull-apart Minox body format, positioning it as a premium pocket camera for discreet and travel use.
Common issues to check are the CdS meter (often drifting or dead due to ageing cells and the original mercury battery voltage), the electronic shutter at slow speeds, and light seals inside the pull-apart body. Inspect the lens for haze and the chain/wrist strap fittings for wear, and confirm the film cassette chamber is clean. Minox cassettes and processing remain available through specialist labs, and independent Minox service technicians in Europe can still handle most repairs.

Questions
Is the Minox C a good value compared with a Minox B?
The C typically commands a modest premium over a comparable B because of its electronic shutter and metering, but price differences at this level are often dwarfed by condition, so a clean B can sell for more than a tatty C.
