Minox LX Gold

The Minox LX Gold is a gold-finished collector edition of the Minox LX subminiature camera, shooting 8×11mm frames on Minox film. It sits within Minox's long-running 8×11 subminiature line, marketed as a luxury presentation variant rather than a working tool.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the LX Gold have ranged from £900 to £1,200, with the two recorded saleroom results sitting either side of roughly £1,050. Sales data is thin and dated, so what a Minox LX Gold is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition of the gold finish, presentation case completeness, and whether the camera is still functional.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Minox LX Gold worth?

Recorded UK auction hammer prices sit between £900 and £1,200, so a clean, complete example typically sells for around £1,000 at saleroom level.

How much does a Minox LX Gold sell for today?

With only two tracked auction results, the price is best described as roughly £900–£1,200 hammer, with condition of the gold finish and presence of original packaging the main value drivers.

Is the Minox LX Gold a usable camera or a collector piece?

It uses the same 8×11mm Minox film format as the standard LX, but the gold finish positions it as a collector edition, and most examples on the market are bought for display rather than shooting.
