Minox GT-E
The Minox GT-E is a compact 35mm film camera from Minox, a German maker best known for subminiature cameras before branching into full-frame compacts. It sits in the fixed-lens compact category aimed at travel and everyday use.
At recent UK auction, the GT-E has been a low-value compact, with hammer prices of £45 and £50 sitting close to a £48 median — these are wholesale saleroom results before commission, not retail asking prices. As of 2026 the model continues to sell for well under £100, and today values remain highly condition-sensitive given how modest the worth of working examples is.
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.
