Minox MX

The Minox MX is a subminiature camera from Minox, the German maker known for its compact spy-format cameras. It uses the Minox 8x11mm film cartridge format that defined the brand's product line, positioned as a pocketable everyday shooter rather than a professional tool.

At UK auction in 2026, the Minox MX is an inexpensive collectable: recent hammer prices sit between £30 and £38, with a median around £34. With only a couple of saleroom results to reference, today's value is condition-sensitive and a clean, working example with original case typically sells for the upper end of that range.
