Minox LX

The Minox LX is a subminiature camera from Minox, the German maker known for its 8×11mm film format introduced in the mid-20th century. It sits within the company's pocket-sized spy-style line, positioned as a compact precision instrument for users of Minox cassette film.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Minox LX have ranged from around £100 to £370, with historic Christie's results clustering in the £330–£370 band and a more recent 2025 Flints sale at £100. As of 2026, what a Minox LX sells for today is heavily condition-sensitive, and saleroom values reflect wholesale hammer levels rather than retail dealer prices; outfits with original case, chain and meter tend to achieve the higher end of the range.
