Minox Leica IIIf (miniature)

The Minox Leica IIIf (miniature) is a small-scale collector replica of the Leica IIIf rangefinder, produced by Minox as part of its Classic Camera Collection series of non-functional miniature display models. It is sold as a desk piece for camera enthusiasts rather than as a working photographic instrument.

At UK auction, hammer prices for this miniature have ranged from £70 to £180, with sales sparse and condition-dependent. As of 2026, examples in complete presentation packaging tend to sell for more than loose pieces, and the limited number of saleroom appearances means the price a Minox Leica IIIf miniature is worth on any given day can swing widely with bidder interest.
