Some Useful Resources for the Minox Enthusiast
    I've listed a few resources for the Minox enthusiast below; while these are as updated as I can make them, please bear in mind that some information may have changed over time. This is by no means a complete listing, there are many more out there on the Internet, etc. I'll be happy to include any that you may find that are not on the list if you'll drop me a line via the home page to this site.
    This is the American distributor of Minox products and services. You can purchase cameras, accessories, film and processing mailers, books and memorabilia items from them via mail or directly from their web site. Their site is also a fantastic reference resource, containing a number of excellent articles submitted by a variety of knowledgeable enthusiasts. These articles give a wealth of in depth information on a wide range of topics designed to allow the user to get the very most out of their cameras. A photo gallery containing actual photographs made with Minox cameras, submitted by users from all over gives a wonderful testimony to the quality of pictures possible with them.
    The German headquarters in Wetzlar where the cameras and products are actually manufactured. This is a dual language site, select from English or German on the home page. A detailed description of the entire product line, the family tree, news releases, historical notes, photo gallery, a 2nd hand swap area, etc., make this an invaluable resource.
    If there is one place on the web that comes closest to serving all the interests of any subminiature camera user (not just Minox, although there is plenty of that), this would have to be that place. There's no room to list all of the great features of this site, but some of the more notable ones include an incredible volume of reference articles on every conceivable topic, a chat room and user group listing to allow conversation world wide with fellow enthusiasts, news, swap meet area, sponsors and advertisers area for tracking down those hard to find items, etc. A wonderfully well designed, entertaining and informative site, this is an absolute must see for anyone interested in subminiature cameras and photography. Some of the links listed here were discovered at the Sub Club site, and they have many, many more.
    A truly international community of Minox enthusiasts are hosted on this beautifully designed web site. Catering to both the 35mm and 8 x 11 camera lovers and everything Minox, this site contains a wealth of useful information, discussion forums, user tips, lovely galleries and plenty of links to numerous other Minox based sites. Well worth the visit!

    Donald Goldberg is the top Minox service and repair technician in America, and probably the most well stocked with parts and supplies for the cameras. I think that says it all…

    A fantastic compendium of links to other Minox sites, this has to be one of the most comprehensive link pages I've seen to date; of special note to the courageous, detailed repair instructions on some of the 8 x 11 models for a wide range of problems.
    Another great venue for finding even more information about Minox cameras, resources, tips, tricks and just plain enjoyable browsing. Whether you're in the UK or not, this is an excellent resource.
    Steve Uhrig has created one of the very nicest Minox camera and accessory purchase sites on the Web that I've seen so far. Just read the lovingly crafted descriptions of each camera he has for sale, and you quickly get the sense of a man who not only loves the camera, but is seriously committed to providing the purchaser with the very best Minox buying experience ever. He works closely with DAG Camera Repair above to ensure that each camera sold is carefully cleaned, lubed and adjusted (CLA) and in fine working order when delivered. The first place to go when looking for used Minox cameras and accessories.
    Marcus Brooks has a wonderfully entertaining and informative site that features the cameo appearances of all sorts of subminiature cameras in a wide variety of films, TV shows and adventure book references. The listing grows on a continuous basis, so check back often. Each listing shows a picture of the camera being used in the scene where it appears, and a small description of the movie, plot line and comments. Explore the entire site, as he has much useful reference information as well…
    Martin Doctor actually fabricates a small line of replacement Minox parts. Currently he can provide shutter blades, shutter springs and the window glass for the exposure metres. Prices are extremely reasonable, and Martin is a real gentleman to work with. Contact him via email for pricing and availability.
    Ray Pepalis has some of the nicest, and most reasonably priced precision wooden film slitters for users wanting to custom load their own film cassettes that I've seen so far. Several models available, and well worth a look.
    This British based company makes selenium cell elements, and can provide inexpensive, single unit quantities of custom sized elements, with or without leads in place, for those of us in need of a replacement for our exposure metres in Minox Model B cameras and Minox and Minosix style exposure metres. Many thanks to Kevin from the Sub Club user group list who kindly posted this information there…
    This California based book store caters specifically to photography enthusiasts, with an inventory of over 600 photography specific books available. A wide range of photography books covering all types of camera formats, repair manuals, general guides, and a section specifically devoted to subminiature cameras are just part of this well designed web store. Excellent prices, enthusiastic and courteous service make this another invaluable reference source for the photographer.
