The classic 8×11 mm Minox cameras (A, B, BL, C, LX, TLX) are exceptionally compact at 97 mm × 27 mm × 15 mm, typically weighing 110–130 g. By contrast, the Minox 35 series (EL, GT, ML, MB) is a full 35 mm compact platform at 100 mm × 61 mm × 32 mm, weighing 190–220 g. In operational terms, an 8×11 Minox is less than half the volume of a Minox 35 and roughly one‑third the thickness, enabling true subminiature handling.
