Minox LX / TLX

The Minox LX was an advancement upon the earlier Minox C. In consideration with the TLX version of this camera, the LX enjoyed the longest production run of any Minox camera; manufactured from 1978 until 2003.

The LX uses Minox film cartridges (check out our fresh stock of Spy Film) to make subminiature 8x11mm images. The camera features a battery-powered, Silicon Blue Cell (SBC) light meter and an electronically-governed shutter capable of manual or automatic exposure control. The LX is one of the most electronically advanced on the Minox cameras. The camera also features a manual focus dial similar to those on earlier Minox cameras, while the viewfinder has a built-in parallax correction to improve accuracy when focusing at close distances.

Minox LX with Spy Film and blueprints of BMC expansion

2019 has been a big year for us, due mainly to the complete overhaul of our internal software and the revamping of our website. 2020 is shaping up to be an equally momentous year for us. We recently purchased a building adjacent to our shop, in which we will expand both our national office/shipping facilities, as well as providing some much needed warehouse storage space. We have been pouring over blueprints and amending our schemes as that space develops. At some point, we hope to use this new space to expand the front of our shop, so we can have even more cases of cameras for you to drool over. We have been needing the space something fierce, as our inventory of gear grows more and more each day. ⁠

So when Jake had left out this set of blueprints the other day, it seemed too good a supporting subject not to make a camera post. We chose to feature this Minox LX alongside a roll of our Spy Film. The latter seemed an especially good representation of our long-term commitment to film photography.⁠

⁠

Did you know that the Minox LX had the longest production run of any Minox cameras? They were introduced in 1978 and production continued until 1995; meanwhile the titanium version, called the TLX, ran from 1996 until 2003. The LX does use that wonky PX27 battery - it is fully dependent upon it - but, like the film this camera requires, we also carry this battery.⁠

Minox LX

Our fondness for Minox cameras is ever-growing... even if the niche market isn't.

We are currently the sole licensed manufacturer of Minox Spy Film and we continue to develop, scan, and print this film, although many people aren't even aware that it exists.
