Minox

Minox cameras typify the classic spy camera. Very small, they are very well made. Minox started in Riga, Latvia before the second world war and were relocated to Wetzlar Germany when war finished. Ideal sub-miniature to collect as film is still available in many emulsions.

Minox sub miniature cameras use 9.5mm film in a special cassette for a negative size of 8mm*11mm.

Minox cameras shown on this page are all post-war.
