Minox ECX
The Minox ECX is a subminiature camera from Minox, the German maker established for its 8x11mm format film cameras used since the mid-20th century. It sits within Minox's pocket-sized line aimed at discreet, everyday use rather than professional reportage.
At UK auction in 2024, hammer prices for the Minox ECX have sat in a narrow £69–£80 band across the recorded sales, a wholesale level that reflects saleroom results rather than dealer retail. With only a small sample to draw on today in 2026, the ECX is worth modest money and tends to sell for under £100 unless presented with original case and packaging.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.
