Minox Leica M3 Sub-Miniature Film Camera

The Minox Leica M3 is a palm-sized miniature replica of the iconic 1954 Leica M3 rangefinder, built at roughly 1:3 scale. Originally released by German miniature camera specialist Minox under official licensing from Leica, these were produced both as mechanical film cameras and later as digital collectibles.

This rare item comes in its original wooden box, with a sealed unused Minox colour film cassette. It also has the original user guide, film developing return form, and QA form. Serial number M3-E02516.

Note: The camera is in mint condition, the film advance lever works, but the shutter appears to be sticking and probably needs a drop of solvent to get working (if you actually want to use the camera, and not just display it). The rubber body casing is also slightly sticky.

• Format: Uses standard Minox 8x11mm subminiature film cassettes.

• Build: Precision metal body with mechanical film advance lever and functional shutter release.

• Lens: Fixed-focus Minoctar 15mm f/5.6 lens with shutter speed 1/250 sec.

• Details: Fully mechanical execution highly prized by subminiature collectors for its build quality and faithful aesthetic mimicry of the original M3 controls.
