A camera that has ambitions to become a classic
has to feature an ingenious design which will ent-
huse photographers for years to come.
The concept at MINOX has always been to provide
cameras with the smallest possible dimensions,
demonstrating absolute precision and a top-class
design. That’s MINOX. Past, present, future.
has to feature an ingenious design which will ent-

The concept at MINOX has always been to provide
cameras with the smallest possible dimensions,
demonstrating absolute precision and a top-class
design. That’s MINOX. Past, present, future.
There’s always a clever mind behind every classic
design. And the MINOX story must always be told
with reference to the name Walter Zapp. The legen-
dary designer who wrote photographic history with
his revolutionary invention of the first Ur-MINOX in
1938. The ingenious idea was to be seen in its
dimensions. A camera smaller than a cigar and
weighing less than a cigarette lighter. And featuring
an excellent lens. This was a stroke of lasting
genius - as the MINOX ECX and the MINOX CLX still
proof today.
And of course, it was no surprise to see these minia-
ture cameras with the 8x11mm film format go on
to become world famous as espionage cameras.

The MINOX GT-E and GT-S are almost equally
famous: with nearly 2 million sold cameras they
are one of the world’s smallest 35 mm viewfinder
cameras. Classic cameras with more than just
excellent design. MINOX stands for proven lens
quality and robust mechanics – Made in Germany.
Enough possibilities for creative imagination of the
photographer. All products from MINOX are made
in this tradition.
