United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, interest in Minox cameras has historically centred on specialist dealers, collectors, and individual users rather than a formal owners’ club.
MS Hobbies has operated as a specialist Minox workshop in London since 1970, providing sales, servicing, film, accessories, and reference information for Minox 8×11 and 35 mm cameras.
Through long‑term involvement with the Minox system, MS Hobbies has supported collectors and users in the UK and internationally, and maintains reference material covering Minox cameras, accessories, and historical background.
We hosted an experimental UK meeting in January, with enthusistic support, enough to make us consider addional meeets in the future.
Information on meetings and events organised by Minox users in the United Kingdom can be found on the United Kingdom Minox events page.
Online discussion groups
In addition to formal clubs and specialist websites, a number of informal discussion groups relating to Minox cameras exist on social media platforms.
On Facebook, several user‑run groups focus on Minox cameras, subminiature photography, and related topics. These groups vary in scope, activity level, and moderation, and are independent of MS Hobbies and Minox themselves.
- Minox 8×11 & Minox 35 Camera Users (public Facebook group)
- Minox Vintage Photography (public Facebook group)
- Minox and Subminiature Photography (private Facebook group)
Content in social media groups is contributed by individual members and may include personal opinions, historical material, technical discussion, and photographs. Information should be assessed accordingly in the light of a lack of moderation.
